About

Welcome to the Official Copper Box website!

A little bit about us....

Copper Box is a quartet based in Oshkosh, WI and was started in 2002 with co-founders, Danny & Michelle Jerabek. Danny Jerabek grew up performing in his dad's band at the early age of 9 and was self-taught on button accordion (currently endorsed by Hohner Accordions), drums, trumpet, sax, etc. He married Michelle Thull, who also performed in her dad's family band and they started Copper Box so they could be together on stage. With the help of a few other very talented musicians (currently, Dan Cable (DC) on drums and Dave Chyla on bass), Copper Box continues to deliver a punch in entertainment and musicality, playing familiar songs with a twist in a multi-genre accord (polka-rock-blues), as well as their own originals for concerts and events.

Copper Box

2018 release by Copper Box, Wooden Heart, is one of the best to date....with a fun mix of upbeat songs, perfect for any dance party!
