Alabaster is an American rock band that formed in McHenry, Illinois in 2015. Known for extended improvised jams, Alabaster got it's start playing smaller music festivals in the midwest Jam band scene such as Sugar Creek and Summer Stomp festival. The lineup consists of Joe Floress on keyboards, Jackson Gibbons on drums, Joseph LoPresti on vocals, Grant Martin on bass, and Kyle Smith on guitar. Despite the roots in the jam scene, Alabaster's sound is influenced by a mixture of rock, blues, funk, jazz, reggae, metal, and electronic music which has gotten them a small, but dedicated, fanbase that has been known to follow the band across the country.

In the Fall of 2019 Alabaster put out their self titled EP consisting of 4 original songs and followed up with the live album "Live at Mackey's Hideout" a few months later.
