What:
Copper Box performs music that crosses boundaries as effortlessly as a supersonic jet. The talented group draws inspiration from rock, polka, blues and Zydeco, resulting in a fusion of sound that captivates listeners and creates a musical melting pot of American rhythms.
Copper Box front man, Danny Jerabek, has been called "the Jimi Hendrix of the accordion," and has been featured on national television several times. He received his first 3-row button accordion, commonly referred to as the "button box," from his grandfather when he was 9 years of age. Inspired by his grandfather to learn Czech and German songs and later inspired by Don Cialkoszewski and the great Steve "Esteban" Jordan, and a love for a diverse range of music from jazz to rock and everything in between, Danny Jerabek has made a name for himself in the world of accordion greats.
Danny shares vocals with his other half, Michelle Jerabek (saxophones, guitar, flute, vocals). Michelle's distinctive vocals have been compared to legendary vocalists Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt. The rhythm section consists of Kevin Junemann (bass) and Jason Van Ryzin (drums).
