Described as “Snarky Puppy meets Led Zeppelin”, Alabaster is considered to be Chicagoland’s hidden gem of bands. No performance is ever the same.
Since 2015, Alabaster has been steadily performing at festivals and venues across America, growing and developing a unique sound that attracts music fans from all around. Alabaster takes the principles of jazz improvisation and melts them with grooves from around the world with a rock and roll attitude. They point their focus on composing interesting, thought-provoking music and danceable grooves, while exploring uncharted territory through improvisation at every show, assuring no performance is ever the same. This band knows no boundaries. In 2019, the band released the first single “Goin’ Mad” off of their self-titled debute EP and it was featured as an honorable mention in NPR’s Tiny Desk competition. Alabaster released their next single “Excellent Idea” in December of 2022 and their single “Sleepwalker” in June of 2023. Their next single “Life Can Go Our Way” is slated to come out September 2024.
