Boxcar Figaro

plays lyrically rich and melodically compelling original, authentic, Americana songs and unique versions of cover tunes.

Boxcar Figaro is the musical project of songwriter Victor DesRoches, most often accompanied by lead guitar and percussion. With more than three hours of original songs, and a repertoire of covers that range from the 1930s to today, the band has enough variety to keep audiences engaged and entertained.

Songwriter Victor DesRoches has been a solid contributor to the Fresno and Eugene music scenes as both a solo performer and front man for the folk/Americana band Boxcar Figaro for more than 20 years.

His honest, well-made, slightly quirky and sometimes moving songs reflect a life that has been lived honestly and observantly. Delivered with a strong voice and clear, straight-forward style, his shows are intimate, intelligent and entertaining.

A West-Coast native, Victor has worked as a commercial fisherman, shipping and receiving clerk, security guard, electro-plater, candlemaker, welder, small engine mechanic, pipe-fitter, art instructor, newsletter editor, college English teacher, graphic artist, trade show manager, writer, photographer, journalist, and industrial safety professional. Bits of this varied life season his songs and stories.

Something for Everyone

Sometimes a duo or trio, and sometimes Victor solo, Boxcar Figaro plays a variety of songs, with most sets half original Americana songs, and half covers spanning the past nine decades. Kids like our music. Parents like our music. Folks can even dance if so inclined. Dogs like our music too...and yes, so do squirrels,
