Alabaster Boxer, a captivating fusion of Pop and Folk, was formed in 2022 with a vision to weave diverse musical influences into a harmonious tapestry. Led by primary songwriter and vocalist / guitarist Nick Durm, the band’s lineup includes Jason Lockart on keyboards and vocals, Bill Fraley on bass and vocals, Brian C. Bell on electric guitar, Corey Lee McQuade on dobro, banjo and vocals and Scott Hinkle on drums and vocals.

The band’s musical journey is characterized by a unique blend of Folk, Pop, Rock, Bluegrass and Punk elements. Alabaster Boxer’s sound is a testament to their eclectic taste and a commitment to exploring the vast landscapes of music.

In 2023, the band received the “Born & Bred – Folk Artist of the Year” award, a recognition of their exceptional contribution to the West Virginia music scene. The same year marked the release of their debut album, “Currency of Dreams,” which garnered acclaim for its storytelling lyrics and harmony-driven vocals. The album stands as a testament to Alabaster Boxer’s ability to craft compelling narratives through their genre blending style of music.

2024 brought another award, “Appalachian Arts and Entertainment Awards – Pop Artist of the Year,” further solidifying their status as a dynamic force in the music of the region. Later in 2024, the band fostered the successful launch of their very first live record, “Live At The Raleigh” (November 2024), released on vinyl to over 100 backed pre- orders.

Alabaster Boxer has performed notable showcases at: Healing Appalachia (24’), Red Barn Radio (24’), Mountain Music Festival (23’), Floyd Yoga Jam (23’), Carnegie Hall WV (23’) and many other festivals and venues, alongside the likes of Tyler Childers, My Morning Jacket, Sierra Ferrell, Larry Keel Experience, Infamous Stringdusters, Vince Herman Band, Les Claypool and many more.

Looking ahead to 2025, the band will be recording their 2nd studio album in two installments starting late February in Water Valley, MS at Dial Back Sound. The upcoming studio album will be produced in part by Matt Patton (Drive By Truckers, Laura Jane Grace, Against Me!).

Alabaster Boxer invites listeners into a world where their storytelling takes center stage, and the power of harmony resonates through every note. As they continue to captivate audiences with their distinctive sound, the band looks forward to exploring new musical territories and sharing their passion for music with a growing fanbase through the Mid- Atlantic region and beyond.
