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 has received multiple WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) nominations. The band was selected to film a special music video for Sony for presentation at the National Association of Broadcasting (NAB) event held in Las Vegas, NV. The video was so enthusiastically received Sony presented it at many of its prestigious conventions worldwide. In 2007, a video clip of Copper Box was selected for an American Band commercial from the producers of American Idol.
Copper Box has released four critically acclaimed CD's: Roots (2003); Sunny Days (2005) and Backyard Party released in (2006) and the newest, hottest CD to date, Need a Little Squeezin' (2008).
The band's main focus is sharing their energetic sound with audiences as they travel extensively, playing festivals, performing art centers, and club dates throughout the country. From Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI to Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA to Westfest in West, TX, Copper Box keeps the crowd hopping and the tent rocking with their unique blend of styles often described as "squeeze box rock" or, if you will, "polka-rock-Zydeco."The Wisconsin Blues Society describes Copper Box as "one of the favorites of the Fox Valley Blues Festivals...this hot Zydeco Swamp/Blues/Rock outfit with a great baritone and tenor sax gal and hot accordion man cooks and swings with some of the best Zydeco-influenced groups anywhere in the country."
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).
