Speaker 2 (00:29):
They were listening to on air with JT and I
have a very very special exclusive interview with Lee Nash
sixpence and none the richer. How are you doing today.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Lee, I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me.
It is frustrating and I think it probably has run
off plenty of musicians that you know started in the
early nineties, but some of us are still around and
still thriving. And I wouldn't say that I'm thriving in
a financial way, but just in the way that I've
(01:02):
been able to support myself and my son and how
a great life and do what I love to do
and what I feel well, what I really believe has
been my calling in my life, which is to be
a part of making beautiful music. And it was always
my dream to be on the radio. And I used
(01:23):
to I guess that was my prayer as a younger. Well,
I guess a teenager. I was sixteen turning sixteen, I
think when we made our first album, and yeah, I
just always dreamt of being on the radio and thought, no,
that'll never happen. You know, I'm not going to be
on the radio like Chicago or Barry Manilow songs and
(01:45):
things like that. I'm kind of a nerd. I love
a lot of I love that music, but now you know,
I can't go to the grocery store without hearing myself sing.
And yeah, it's just it's been such a blessing. Music
has my life, seeing dreams come true, and it's you know,
the music itself has interacted with me at very very
(02:07):
poignant times in my life that seems very supernatural, almost
just the funniest little things like I don't I don't waste.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Your time with the details.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
But you know, I guess I'm just saying, yes, it's frustrating,
but the reward for me is a lot of what
you said in the very beginning that you know, you
were born the year I graduated.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
From high school.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And somehow my music found you and that makes me
so happy, and you like it. I love you, and yeah,
and I should I said my music. I guess I
mean our music sixpence no the richer. I get kind
of emotional about it. My son was telling me he's
a sophomore in college and a couple of his friends
that he knows of that he actually admitted in the
(02:53):
singer of that band. They're really big fans, like legitimately
big fans, and it shocks me and I kind of
teered up up and he rolled his eyes, of course,
because that's ridiculous. But my niece and nephew, you know,
they're about the same age as my son, and they
really get into.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
It, and they're like, yo, that swepts.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Like when they hear the old records, they'll actually ask,
you know, hey, play you know whatever from this really
early record and then yeah, it's a real It still
blesses me, and just the feeling that maybe I'm still
having an influence and being able to continue making new
music is really what it's allowed me to do and
(03:33):
I'm so thankful for that. That's a really rare thing.
There have definitely been times when I've oh, I mean,
every artist, or really anyone in any chosen you know,
passion career that they go after is going to have
times when they're really discouraged. And I have certainly had
plenty of seasons like that where you know, where I've
(03:56):
struggled financially or really it's just been that.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
And it's been a lot better. The last the last I.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Don't know, seven or eight years, it really got hard,
you know, when my son was younger. Really sucks, but
but you know, you're really kind of in the throes
of life as a parent when your kids are young,
and it wasn't so stressful that that he noticed, I
don't think, but but those were some of the more
discouraging years. But now that he's you know, moving on,
(04:25):
he's in college and you know, sixpences is uh, we're
planning on making more records and not stopping making music
and kind of have started to question why we ever
stopped in the first place, which you know was always
kind of my point. But it allowed me, you know,
the break in sixpence, the very long break, allowed me
(04:48):
to find my own footing as a songwriter and as
someone who can stand on a stage by myself with
or with a guitar player and entertain a crowd of
you know, a lot of people are like seventeen people,
which happened in Grand Rapids last month, which was not fun.
Nothing against Grand Rapids at all. But I hope more
(05:09):
people will come see me next time. But you know,
and feel that confidence and then you know it's led
to more opportunities. And I'm just you know, just to
be starting something. I know we haven't gotten into it yet,
but to be starting something brand new after sixpence a
long solo career which you know, I'll probably always do
(05:31):
my own songs, but now to be going into this
new venture.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
That I'll let you say that if you want.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
As of July this year, you joined ten thousand Maniacs
as the lead singer.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yes, I'm very, very excited, And that was part of
my childhood as well. I was a big fan of
this band, John and Mary, which consisted of John Lombardo
and Mary Ramsey, who has been this singer for ten
thousand Maniacs for the last I don't know thirty years,
and so she has decided to step aside, and they
(06:11):
they called me and we've got some connections between the
two bands. We have like a producer, really great friend
in common, and he suggested it to them, and I
guess no one and even Mary everybody was like, yeah,
that sounds like a great idea. And I got you know,
everything makes me cry, so I was like, are you
(06:32):
freaking getting me? So I'm excited that even now in
my forties, I can there's still this brand new opportunity,
this thing that hopefully will bring me and the guys
in the band and hopefully audiences and bring new fans,
but bring us all a lot of joy, which is
(06:52):
all all I'm really after in this life.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Definitely, I'm really excited to hear all of the new music,
whether it's so low ten thousand and sixpence, I'm just
really excited to hear it. But I got a question
for you, Lee, Yes, what was a bigger thing to you?
Getting nominated for a Grammy or having Bono tell you
he's a fan?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh thank you for asking that. Definitely, Bono, that was massive. Yeah,
I hope that. Yeah, I just I wish it was
on film somewhere. But every once in a while I'll
run into someone who is in the room and they'll
bring it up and I'll be like, oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I didn't have to tell you the story. That is
so cool. Yeah, yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And then in two thousand and three, you did a
little acting gig in Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh my gosh, yeah I did.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I was it?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, it was. It was interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I mean, I have secretly, in a very quiet, dark
corner of my mind, always wanted to be an actress,
and I think that that's a huge part of what
I do as a singer anyway. So I think that
that's why it's kind of stayed small and dark, because
I'm doing it and the other maybe there's part of
me that's just not confident enough to take that step.
(08:05):
But but yeah, at the time, I was I don't
even I don't know. I didn't really watch the show.
I was a little, i think, age wise, a little
past past the age of really.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Being into it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
But I respected all the actors and what they were
doing and it was really interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah it was. But yeah, now when I watched it,
I'm like, oh my gosh, it was terrible. But it happened,
and yeah, it was very cool.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's a good thing to have on your resume.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Absolutely did that happen.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So your music often blends like different genres, how do
you decide which elements to incorporate and then how to
maintain that unique sound of yours.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, I'm a really big fan of country music. I
grew up in South Texas and the Hill Country, and
so I was really surrounded by a lot of the
greats physically and just you know, going into you know,
just everywhere you go there's dance halls and great country
music happening. So so that's what I wanted to do
(09:10):
before I met Matt Slocum, who's my partner in six
Pence then, who's also joining me into Thousand Maniacs, which
I'm so so thankful and excited. Oh I know, if
he wasn't doing it, I would be way more timid
about it. But this, yeah, this really helps a lot.
So Yeah, I love country music, I love folk music,
(09:33):
pop music, rock music.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And have gotten to kind of do it all.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And I suppose my voice is the only common thread
in my heart. But I always have said I'm not sure.
I don't think I made this up. I might have
been Leonard Cohen, but I try to let my heart
inform my throat, my voice, and so I just sort
of lead with that in every aspect of my life
the best that I can. That's sort of my philosophy.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And it's definitely work.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
He's wonderful, isn't he.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah. Such a talented musician. I mean, yeah, another timeless song.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
It really is, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And I had the privilege of getting to tour with
him some and see him perform those songs acoustically by himself,
and then.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I truly became a fan.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I was like, oh my gosh, these songs are insane,
getting to really hear the lyrics and understand what they're
about and hear the stories. But yeah, Art is fantastic.
We my husband and I both love him. I knew
we were working hard, and I knew we had great
people working to promote us, our label was really very
(10:40):
invested in making making it work. And I just always
had this otherness, or this sixth sense maybe that there
was something that would something special was happening. I felt
like I've been like carrying a torch or something, and
so I think there was an inkling of that. But
(11:01):
I didn't know what it would amount to and then
and I still don't. I guess, you know, until the
end of my time here, I won't understand. But but yeah,
I had a sense that there was something special about
you know, and I know actually part of it is
Matt Slocum, who wrote most has written most of the
(11:22):
music of sixpence. The lyrics that he would write were
just so stunningly beautiful, and even I was I was
too young a lot of times in the beginning to
even understand what they were about, but I knew, I
knew that it was.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah, there was something.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
About there was some alchemy between his lyrics and my voice,
and I believe that God put that together and so
so I guess that's the sixth sense that I'm talking about,
is that I believed in that alchemy and that there
was something.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
There was definitely something.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They are these two kids from a really small town
in Texas. You know, it something was rolling, something, The
ball was definitely rolling, and it started getting faster and faster.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So I figured something would come of it, and it
sure did.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I definitely did. I mean even just the placements.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And right, yes, well, I can say that the tide
Volume two, which is a solo record. It's like part
two of a solo record that I've made, is it's
it's full of these gorgeous duets. One of them is
just me and I can't say who the duets are
with yet, but it's so exciting and thrilling and sometimes I,
(12:39):
you know, I'll go back and listen to it just
because you know, I want to make sure it's great,
and I'm shocked. And on volume one there was some
incredible duets as well, and La Tanya Tucker and Ruby
a Manfu and Rolling and I almost gave something away
just now roll a Mallow from from the Mas and
(13:01):
cc Winan's Holy Cow. But yeah, so there's there's some
really really exciting duets that happen on volume two, and
the first one is coming out September twenty second, and
I that has not been announced anywhere, so I think
this might be the first time anybody's hearing that Instagram
at leebird Nash. And then as far as shows, I
(13:24):
have a run of dates with an incredible artist named
Jeremy Lister. We'll be doing a co bill thing. There's
about five shows in October in the beginning and then
in the beginning of October, that is, and then there's
ten thousand maniacs. You can go to maniac dot com.
I refuse to say three doubles again. I tried it
(13:45):
on a video and it was really embarrassing. So maniacs
dot com has all of their dates, our dates, and
you can sign up for the mailing list.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
And also what else happens there? Yeah, by tickets. Yeah,
you can get tickets there.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
In one sense, I think we've always been asking that question,
but now it's elevated because we've got the technology that
connects us all, so we're able to say, oh, I
saw that too, So that's one part of it. But
undeniably there is something going on, and I've always believed it.
I've always been curious. I am a Christian, but I
(14:26):
guess there's no but except that I'm afraid that often
when people here hear that, they're immediately turned off, and
that makes me really sad. But I just think that
we've put God in such a small, small arena that
it's absurd.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
So I think that there's just there's this huge.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Overarching there's so much beauty and so much love to
give and to receive and I think we're just really
have been very short sighted as a human race. And
I'm hoping, hoping that there's some enlightenment coming and that's
we're in charge of that, but we may be forced
(15:08):
into seeing it. And it kind of seems like I
don't know, maybe people have been saying this forever, but
it does feel like there's some sort of apex, you know,
something a gathering tide. Yeah, there's something going on. And
I definitely believe in UAPs. And I don't appreciate when
our politicians laugh and giggle about it, but it seems
(15:31):
like there are some that are taking it more seriously,
and I do.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I do appreciate that because we need to.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Know, and I hope that we will not panic as
a human race if there is something else and we
find out there's another other thing, and that, you know,
we try to.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Since we don't know what it is, I can't say,
but I just hope that we approach with love, and
because that's the best thing to do.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
We need to come together and spread kindness and love.
More than ever, this is the time to come together.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
We'll be up there in October, so I'll send you
the dates actually the end of this month.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
But awesome, you know where to look. Thank you so much,
justin you as well, be blessed.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I appreciate thank you.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I was it?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, it was. It was interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I mean, I have secretly, in a very quiet, dark
corner of my mind, always wanted to be an actress,
and I think that that's a huge part of what
I do as a singer anyway. So I think that
that's why it's kind of stayed small and dark, because
I'm doing it and the other maybe there's part of
me that's just not confident enough to take that step.
(08:05):
But but yeah, at the time, I was I don't
even I don't know. I didn't really watch the show.
I was a little, i think, age wise, a little
past past the age of really.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Being into it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
But I respected all the actors and what they were
doing and it was really interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yeah it was. But yeah, now when I watched it,
I'm like, oh my gosh, it was terrible. But it happened,
and yeah, it was very cool.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's a good thing to have on your resume.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Absolutely did that happen.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So your music often blends like different genres, how do
you decide which elements to incorporate and then how to
maintain that unique sound of yours.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, I'm a really big fan of country music. I
grew up in South Texas and the Hill Country, and
so I was really surrounded by a lot of the
greats physically and just you know, going into you know,
just everywhere you go there's dance halls and great country
music happening. So so that's what I wanted to do
(09:10):
before I met Matt Slocum, who's my partner in six
Pence then, who's also joining me into Thousand Maniacs, which
I'm so so thankful and excited. Oh I know, if
he wasn't doing it, I would be way more timid
about it. But this, yeah, this really helps a lot.
So Yeah, I love country music, I love folk music,
(09:33):
pop music, rock music.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And have gotten to kind of do it all.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And I suppose my voice is the only common thread
in my heart. But I always have said I'm not sure.
I don't think I made this up. I might have
been Leonard Cohen, but I try to let my heart
inform my throat, my voice, and so I just sort
of lead with that in every aspect of my life
the best that I can. That's sort of my philosophy.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And it's definitely work.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
He's wonderful, isn't he.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah. Such a talented musician. I mean, yeah, another timeless song.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
It really is, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And I had the privilege of getting to tour with
him some and see him perform those songs acoustically by himself,
and then.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I truly became a fan.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I was like, oh my gosh, these songs are insane,
getting to really hear the lyrics and understand what they're
about and hear the stories. But yeah, Art is fantastic.
We my husband and I both love him. I knew
we were working hard, and I knew we had great
people working to promote us, our label was really very
(10:40):
invested in making making it work. And I just always
had this otherness, or this sixth sense maybe that there
was something that would something special was happening. I felt
like I've been like carrying a torch or something, and
so I think there was an inkling of that. But
(11:01):
I didn't know what it would amount to and then
and I still don't. I guess, you know, until the
end of my time here, I won't understand. But but yeah,
I had a sense that there was something special about
you know, and I know actually part of it is
Matt Slocum, who wrote most has written most of the
(11:22):
music of sixpence. The lyrics that he would write were
just so stunningly beautiful, and even I was I was
too young a lot of times in the beginning to
even understand what they were about, but I knew, I
knew that it was.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah, there was something.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
About there was some alchemy between his lyrics and my voice,
and I believe that God put that together and so
so I guess that's the sixth sense that I'm talking about,
is that I believed in that alchemy and that there
was something.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
There was definitely something.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They are these two kids from a really small town
in Texas. You know, it something was rolling, something, The
ball was definitely rolling, and it started getting faster and faster.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So I figured something would come of it, and it
sure did.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I definitely did. I mean even just the placements.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And right, yes, well, I can say that the tide
Volume two, which is a solo record. It's like part
two of a solo record that I've made, is it's
it's full of these gorgeous duets. One of them is
just me and I can't say who the duets are
with yet, but it's so exciting and thrilling and sometimes I,
(12:39):
you know, I'll go back and listen to it just
because you know, I want to make sure it's great,
and I'm shocked. And on volume one there was some
incredible duets as well, and La Tanya Tucker and Ruby
a Manfu and Rolling and I almost gave something away
just now roll a Mallow from from the Mas and
(13:01):
cc Winan's Holy Cow. But yeah, so there's there's some
really really exciting duets that happen on volume two, and
the first one is coming out September twenty second, and
I that has not been announced anywhere, so I think
this might be the first time anybody's hearing that Instagram
at leebird Nash. And then as far as shows, I
(13:24):
have a run of dates with an incredible artist named
Jeremy Lister. We'll be doing a co bill thing. There's
about five shows in October in the beginning and then
in the beginning of October, that is, and then there's
ten thousand maniacs. You can go to maniac dot com.
I refuse to say three doubles again. I tried it
(13:45):
on a video and it was really embarrassing. So maniacs
dot com has all of their dates, our dates, and
you can sign up for the mailing list.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
And also what else happens there? Yeah, by tickets. Yeah,
you can get tickets there.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
In one sense, I think we've always been asking that question,
but now it's elevated because we've got the technology that
connects us all, so we're able to say, oh, I
saw that too, So that's one part of it. But
undeniably there is something going on, and I've always believed it.
I've always been curious. I am a Christian, but I
(14:26):
guess there's no but except that I'm afraid that often
when people here hear that, they're immediately turned off, and
that makes me really sad. But I just think that
we've put God in such a small, small arena that
it's absurd.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
So I think that there's just there's this huge.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Overarching there's so much beauty and so much love to
give and to receive and I think we're just really
have been very short sighted as a human race. And
I'm hoping, hoping that there's some enlightenment coming and that's
we're in charge of that, but we may be forced
(15:08):
into seeing it. And it kind of seems like I
don't know, maybe people have been saying this forever, but
it does feel like there's some sort of apex, you know,
something a gathering tide. Yeah, there's something going on. And
I definitely believe in UAPs. And I don't appreciate when
our politicians laugh and giggle about it, but it seems
(15:31):
like there are some that are taking it more seriously,
and I do.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I do appreciate that because we need to.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Know, and I hope that we will not panic as
a human race if there is something else and we
find out there's another other thing, and that, you know,
we try to.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Since we don't know what it is, I can't say,
but I just hope that we approach with love, and
because that's the best thing to do.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
We need to come together and spread kindness and love.
More than ever, this is the time to come together.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
We'll be up there in October, so I'll send you
the dates actually the end of this month.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
But awesome, you know where to look. Thank you so much,
justin you as well, be blessed.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I appreciate thank you.
