Copper Box’s sound connects the upbeat sounds of folk music with southern soul! 

Danny Jerabek (accordion, keys, vocals, cornet, sousaphone, etc.) grew up in Pickett, WI.  His wife, Michelle (Thull) Jerabek (bari saxophone, vocals, guitar, washboard, etc.) was born and raised in Kewaskum, WI.  They both got their start performing in their family's polka bands at a young age.  They met at a polka dance!  After they were married, they started their own band with musician friends, Kevin Junemann (bass, ukelele) and Jason Van Ryzin (drums).  Being self-taught on the accordion and influenced by Steve (Esteban) Jordan ('the Jimi Hendrix of the accordion), Danny has been able to feature the accordion in a diverse range of music, which is no novelty act.  Michelle and Danny continue to write original music that dances into many genres, but maintains a unified sound.

They have shared the main stage at festivals across the nation with artists like, The Little River Band, Buckwheat Zydeco, Little Feat, Little Big Town, Peter Frampton, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lou Gramm, Marcia Ball, C.J. Chenier, Brave Combo, Terrance Simien, and W.C. Clark.

As one music journalist commented, "(Copper Box)...as refreshing as a cool spring breeze blowing new life into a stuffy room...worth checking out!"

Wisconsin Blues Society describes Copper Box as “…one of the favorites of the Fox Valley Blues Festival 2004. This hot Zydeco Swamp/Blues Rock outfit with a great baritone and tenor sax gal and a hot accordion man. This group cooks and swings with some of the best Zydeco-influenced groups I’ve seen anywhere in the country.”

From Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI to Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA and from The International Accordion Festival in San Antonio, TX, to California, Copper Box is gaining fans and doing what they love to do.
