“Each note solidifies Nom De Plume’s place among those who sculpt soundscapes that connect, resonate, and transport.”

Nom De Plume is an eclectic indie rock band fronted by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Aris Karabelas, along with bassist Michael Magee. Their sound has a surprising pop sensibility that incorporates folk-rock, Americana, classic and progressive rock elements to create their own resonant style.

Formed in Baltimore, and later rooted in Boston’s vibrant original music scene, Nom De Plume released two full-length albums, Lovely Land, and Ashes to Argyle. After a period of quiet collaboration, the band has reemerged with new music that affirms their creative bonds and artistic vitality.

Their most recent work includes a series of singles and third studio album, Circle The Dream.
