Our Story

Copper Box is a quartet based in Oshkosh, WI and was started in 2002 with co-founders, Danny Jerabek & Michelle LL (Jerabek).  Danny 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 L 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 some incredible talented musicians, 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.
