Alabaster Boxer creates a unique musical experience characterized by catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and an energy that keeps audiences engaged and entertained. 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 WV and VA bands to record their full-length debut album, “Currency of Dreams”.
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.
Members include: Nick Durm (Vocals/Guitar), Jason Lockart (Keyboard/Vocals), Brian Bell (Guitar), Corey Lee McQuade (Dobro/Banjo/Vocals), Bill Fraley (Bass/Vocals), Chandler Beavers (Mandolin), and Scott Hinkle Drums (Vocals).
Ivy Terrace concerts are a community favorite and a big reason why Lewisburg, West Virginia, is considered one of the “coolest small towns in America.” The groups perform outside on Carnegie Hall’s Ivy Terrace as attendees watch from the expansive lawn in front of New River Community and Technical College. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket and pack a picnic to enjoy the live, outdoor concerts. All Ivy Terrace concerts are sponsored by City National Bank and free and open to the public. This is an alcohol free event.
