What's more fitting than a Christmas album from a Christian pop band? Not much. Texas band Sixpence None the Richer celebrates the glory of God with their holiday album The Dawn of Grace.
Now, don't go grabbing your red and white, furry Santa hat or pouring yourself a hearty glass of eggnog spiked with your favorite liquer so you can start rockin' around the Christmas tree in the most amorous ways with your beloved! The Dawn of Grace foregoes the silly holiday romps in favor of all spiritual, pious songs like "O Come, O Come Emanuel," "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Silent Night," albeit performed with a twangy, acoustic guitar edge and sung by the angelically voiced Leigh Nash, whose delicate, lush and haunting voice finds its closest relative in Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval.
The Dawn of Grace is one of the more somber, faith-based Christmas albums we've heard, and it's perfectly suited to be played in a forward-thinking church during the holiday season. It's Nash's voice that chills the spine with its cool, collected and celestial quality. She does supreme justice to Joni Mitchell's depressing, heartaching "River," quite possibly the most gut wrenching Christmas-related song ever! Nash has the uncanny knack for conveying so much emotion through subdued singing, which is no simple feat. Most vocalists have to rely on show-stopping displays of prowess to make their points, but Nash demonstrates equal force and power simply by letting her voice carry.
You needn't be a Fundamentlist Christian or even a fan of the band's lone hit, 1997's ubiquitous "Kiss Me" in order to enjoy The Dawn of Grace. If anything, Nash's gorgeous voice will lull you into a happy, escapist trance when your relatives are fighting over who gets the last of the fruitcake or when they are going to return that hideous sweater that they were gifted with!

Threepence X 2
Sixpence None the Richer took a break, but when Leigh Nash gave Matt Slocum a call, he was ready.
Experiencing Europe did a world of good for Matt Slocum.
After getting married and living in Italy for a year and a half -- on a long honeymoon, basically -- Slocum returned to Nashville ready to make music again.
Fortunately for him, so was Leigh Nash, his former songwriting partner and vocalist in Sixpence None the Richer. The Christian pop group, which had a No. 2 crossover hit with "Kiss Me" in 1999, had split up four years earlier.
Slocum said that breakup was amicable.
"Leigh was pregnant at the time, and when she had her son, she just wanted to focus on that," he said. "We'd been at it a long time. I think there was definitely a little bit of fatigue and just the need to do something different for a while."
Slocum briefly played in another band, then married his girlfriend Kristen and moved to Verona, Italy, for a year and a half.
"It was like the last hurrah before we had a family," he said. "I did write, but it was kind of a sabbatical, an extended honeymoon. We experienced the world for a while, and it was great."
Back in Nashville, Nash gave her old band mate a call. Her son, Henry, was no longer a newborn. She was ready to play music again.
"We both felt maybe it was a good time to start making music together again," Slocum said. "It was really casual and low-key, but definitely good timing. I was happy to come back home to that opportunity."
Sixpence promptly released a four-song EP to let the world know they were back. They then decided to accommodate fans' requests for a Christmas album. Slocum said they prepared by listening to tons of holiday songs and found it daunting.
"There so many Christmas records out there -- so many good ones and so many bad ones. You start thinking you'll make a bad one. So much stuff has been done so well many times before. The other challenge was we wanted to write originals. That was a bit intimidating as well, to contribute to the holiday canon.
"The Dawn of Grace," released in October, includes Sixpence songs "The Last Christmas" and "Christmas for Two," as well as their take on standards such as "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Silent Night." For the latter song, Jars of Clay's Dan Haseltine made a guest appearance.
"He surprised us because he was coming in to sing and showed up with these separate lyrics that created a different subplot to the song. It was really cool; it just transformed the whole thing."
Look for Sixpence None the Richer and Jars of Clay, as well as Sara Groves and Leeland, to perform together in various combinations during the Love Came Down Christmas Pageant concert at the Warner Theatre on Dec. 11.
"There is a lot of interaction on the tour, as far as bands being up on stage at the same time and performing together," Slocum said. "I'm looking forward to that aspect most of all."
Slocum said Sixpence will stay true to the holiday theme, which means they won't play "Kiss Me," their signature song -- at least not for mainstream audiences.
"We know it's something that ended up defining the band and probably will continue to in the future," Slocum said. "At the end of the day, we're really thankful for having a song that's known all over the world. It opened a lot of doors and has given us a lot of opportunities.
"On the other hand, I think we're ready to move beyond it and keep creating a good body of work."
Slocum and Nash have found they're on the same songwriting wavelength more than ever because he recently became a parent, too. Olive, his daughter, is 4 months old.
"It does enhance the bond," Slocum said. "We have similar inspiration for future songs. It's nice to experience that together."

Holiday Sound Check
Underground Garage head Little Steven – he of Bruce Springsteen and Sopranos fame – has gathered 20 of his favorite fun holiday songs. Some
are brilliant variations on the traditional, such as The Chevelles joyous instrumental surf romp through “Oh Come All Ye Faithful,” dubbed here
“Come All Ye Faithful Surfer Girls.” Some are great originals, such as The Kinks fabulous garage pop number “Father Christmas” and The
Ramones “Merry Christmas (I Didn’t Want to Fight Tonight),” with singer Joey relaying a familiar holiday conundrum. Some are iconic, such as Keith
Richards making like Chuck Berry on “Run Rudolph Run.” Tough to say, but Joe Pesci ( “If It Doesn’t Snow on Christmas”) and The Electric Prunes
(“Jingle Bells”) are a waste of space. But ex-Move man Roy Wood’s Wizzard, performing the British Yuletide classic, “I Wish It Could Be Christmas
Every Day,” more than makes up for any skipable moments.
Sixpence None The Richer “The Dawn of Grace” (Nettwerk)
Christmas brings people together. Usually. Four years since they split, Nashville-based pop outfit Sixpence None The Richer, the band responsible
for the hit 1997 hit “Kiss Me,” reunited to make a Christmas album. A decidedly odd reason for a pop reunion, one that could smack of quick money
were it not for the fact that, following a summer tour and some Christmas performances, a non-seasonal album is set to follow next year. Either
way, this is a delightful collection of mostly traditional Christmas songs. The two Sixpence originals -- “The Last Christmas” and “Christmas for
Two” – blend into the disc’s lovely ethereal atmosphere. Jars of Clay singer Dan Haseltine duets on a pretty version of “Silent Night.” But mostly,
the focus is Leigh Nash’s coy, sweet voice and guitarist Matt Slocum’s delicate instrumentation. A warm, welcome Christmas get-together.

SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER, The Dawn of Grace (Nettwerk)
This 10-song Christmas set is Sixpence's first new release since the Nashville Christian pop group re-formed late last year. With that in mind, the most intriguing tracks here are two new original tunes, "The Last Christmas" and "Christmas for Two," and they're both sweet, inspired successes, bundling up frontwoman Leigh Nash's vocals in cozy, wintry folk tones. Dreamy interpretations of reverent Christmas classics such as "Silent Night" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" are nothing to gloss over, either.

Queen pledges to rock you in big-screen way
One of those one-time-only showings features Bad Company's Paul Rodgers lending his vocal support to Queen.
"Queen + Paul Rodgers: Let the Cosmos Rock" hits the big screen at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6. Among the American movie theaters scheduled to show the recorded concert film are ShowPlace 14 in Michigan City, ShowPlace 16 in Schererville and Portage 16 IMAX. Recently filmed in Ukraine, the show is loaded with Queen fare, including "We Will Rock You," and "Tie Your Mother Down," a blistering track that perhaps ranks as the band's most underrated song. There's also Paul Rodgers' stuff from his days in Bad Company and Free ("All Right Now").
Visit www.FathomEvents.com for information.
Sixpence scheduled
There's an intriguing holiday show coming to the Star Plaza Theatre. It's different, boasting both a Christian edge and a youth-friendly pop slant.
One of the acts is Sixpence None the Richer, which is responsible for two lilting tunes that made their marks during the past 10 years. You might remember "Kiss Me," which was used in the Freddie Prinze Jr. movie "She's All That," and on TV's "Dawson's Creek." The Grammy-nominated band from Texas likewise scored with its cover of the La's "There She Goes."
Also on the bill is Jars of Clay, a Grammy Award winner for 1997's "Much Afraid," a million-selling CD in the "Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album" category. The aforementioned groups will be joined by Leeland and Sara Groves at "Love Came Down -- A Christmas Pageant," set for 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at the Merrillville venue. Tickets, $30, go on sale noon Saturday.
Leisure Suits & lounge guru
Here's an interesting mix of shows at The Venue, Horseshoe Casino's new theater.
At 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, TV's "Nashville Star" trots out its four finalists from the most recent installment of the talent-search series.
I didn't think there was still much of a demand for Johnny and the Leisure Suits, but Chicago DJ legend Jonathon Brandmeier will be horsing around with his band at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22.
Then there's a guy who's perfect for the casino scene: Wayne Newton. The lounge leviathan croons at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5.
Visit www.thevenue-chicago.com for ticket information on the Hammond shows.
Get down at Duffy's
Howard and the White Boys are dishing punchy contemporary blues at 10 p.m. Saturday at Duffy's Place, 1154 Axe Ave., Valparaiso. There's no cover charge. Featuring guitarist Rocco Calipari of the Valpo area, the band has played Europe and opened for B.B. King.
