Nash Leigh had been a member of Sixpence None the Richer for nearly half of her life, thirteen years all told, and was contemplating calling it quits from the music biz. Nash and high school mate Matt Slocum had formed the group as teenagers, touring in sedans and cramped vans, slowly building a career.
But in spite of the colossal success the band enjoyed with ubiquitous pop singles like Kiss Me and There She Goes, the group was continually plagued by the business woes of the trade and finally decided to split ways amicably. Disoriented by this major change, Nash and her husband left their Nashville home of ten years and moved to Los Angeles. She started writing, and the result was a 2006 solo release, Blue On Blue.
