Our Story

The Reverent Few
Born from the blues heartbeat of Chicago and rooted in Austin for over a decade, The Reverent Few aren’t chasing fame or fitting in—they’re chasing something real. Their sound walks the line between soul revival and rock-and-roll reckoning: blues-soaked, gospel-tinged, and unafraid to sit with sorrow.
At the center is Paige DeChausse, a vocal force whose size betrays her sound. She sings with the kind of raw honesty that demands attention, like she’s pulling something straight out of her gut and handing it to you. Beside her is Nick James, her partner in music and life, whose guitar work is as expressive as it is explosive—equal parts fire and finesse. His vocals, like Paige’s, are heavy with feeling and steeped in soul.
Holding it all down is Ashlyn Shanafelt, a drummer with groove for days and energy that lights a room. Her playing locks in effortlessly with Spanky, whose basslines are deep, warm, and grounding—making the whole band feel like one big heartbeat.
The Reverent Few don’t put on a show. They let you in. Their live sets feel like a gathering—part revival, part release. The songs borrow from the storytelling of John Prine, the daring of Bowie, and the grit of everything in between.
Their newest single, The World Will Be Wood To You, recorded straight to analog tape at DogStar Studios, is the start of something bigger. A new batch of songs is on the way—born in the quiet, built to be felt. Stay tuned.
