Leigh Nash 'Leigh Nash Roughs' album

As former front woman for Grammy-nominated band Sixpence None the Richer, LEIGH NASH has charmed audiences far and wide with her ethereal voice. Now, NASH steps out on her own for her most personal project yet, her first solo album due out in 2006.

The release of the album marks a significant time in Nash’s life. Starting her career as a young 15-year old girl with Sixpence, she has matured into a woman whose wispy vocals and intimate lyrics convey thirteen years of experiences and relationships. With a new addition to her family, her son Henry, to draw inspiration from, the singer/songwriter prepares to release an album that not only shares her voice with the audience, but also her heart.

“It’s really wonderful to be able to put your whole self into something,” Nash says. “As a band, creating new material is really a group effort; there is a certain lack of control one has as an artist. Now, I am able to take my experiences from the band and from life to make an album that is completely me, inside and out.”

While this is her first solo album, NASH has lent her voice to other projects in the past, including “I Need To Be Next To You” for the movie “Bounce” and collaborations with Los Straightjackets (2001’s Sing Along with Los Straitjackets) and Delerium (she penned and performed the song "Innocente (Falling in Love)" for 2001’s Poem, which was released as a radio single and rocketed up to #3 on the Billboard Dance Charts).

NASH has already experienced great success with Sixpence None The Richer. Their smash hit single "Kiss Me" propelled the band into the spotlight, and their latest release Divine Discontent has kept the momentum going with songs like "Breathe Your Name" and a remake of Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over". Their success has garnered appearances on high profile television shows such as NBC's "The Today Show," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Saturday Night Live", CBS's "Late Night with David Letterman" and "Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," VH1's "Hard Rock Live," "Hallmark Café," WB's "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and a main stage performance slot on the Lilith Fair Tour. Sixpence songs have also furbished countless movie and television soundtracks, including "How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days,” "Freaky Friday,” "A View From The Top",” "She's All That,” "Here on Earth,” "Girl Interrupted,” "Snow Day," NBC's "ER" and the WB's "Smallville".
