Leigh Nash (http://www.leighnash.com), the former frontwoman for Sixpence None The Richer, will be releasing a solo album; press release below.
LEIGH NASH GOES SOLO;
FORMER SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER FRONTWOMAN
WILL RELEASE BLUE ON BLUE AUGUST 15th
Two years after the amicable split of Sixpence None The Richer (who topped
the charts with pop hits like "Kiss Me" and "There She Goes"), Leigh Nash
prepares to step out on her own with BLUE ON BLUE, her debut solo album due
out August 15 on One Son Records, her imprint label through Nettwerk
Productions.
Produced by Pierre Marchand (Sarah McLachlan, Rufus Wainwright), Blue on
Blue is a sweetly understated collection of musings on love and motherhood.
Marchand's lush, warm production gives Nash's songs an earthy luster that
carefully cushions her sweet, lilting voice. The pair also co-wrote two
songs together, album opener "All Along The Wall" and "Between The Lines."
The road to creating her solo album was an uncertain one: "I knew I wanted
to do a record on my own - I always knew I wanted to do that if the band
were to break up. But then we actually did break up, and I hadn't
necessarily seen that coming," recalls Nash. "It was a major life change for
me because I had been with Sixpence since I was fourteen. I was 27 at the
time, and I didn't know what I was going to do."
Unsure of what the future held, Leigh and her husband packed their bags and
moved out west to LA, where she welcomed her son Henry into the world. With
a change of scenery and newfound motherhood, Nash experienced a new sense of
creative vitality and wrote a batch of songs that would eventually become
Blue On Blue.
Nash, now living back in Music City, will spend the upcoming months gearing
up for a North American fall tour. She is also involved in a project known
as Movement Nashville (http://www.myspace.com/movementnashville), a small group of musicians that hope to dispel the
myth that musically Nashville is limited to Country and Christian. The group
performs mostly around Nashville but occasionally ventures out.
Stay tuned for more info from Leigh Nash, including tour dates!
