Alabaster Boxer creates a unique musical experience characterized by catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and an energy that keeps audiences engaged and entertained designed to blend and fuse genres of folk, pop, bluegrass and rock. Formed in 2022, the project is lead by primary songwriter Nick Durm on vocals and guitar, who assembled his own group of all-star friends and musicians from various Southern West Virginia and Virginia bands.
Durm’s powerful vocals and songwriting sets the tone for the band’s sound, while the other members bring a wide range of influences blending fusions of rock, pop, bluegrass, Americana and more to complete this unique sound. With instrumentation consisting of guitars, keys, mandolin, dobro, banjo, bass, and drums over top of harmony driven original anthems, Alabaster Boxer aims to create a new yet familiar listening experience for any audience.
The band has received high praise for their live performances with a story telling setlist, taking their audience along for an experience rather than just a concert. With their dynamic blend of genres, Alabaster Boxer is a band that is sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences everywhere they play.
