Debra Coppola (lead vocalist) – Debra’s soulful singing style has been compared to that of Patti Labelle & Aretha Franklin. She creates an electrifying musical experience, thrilling audiences and singing everything from dance hits to beautiful ballads. Debra was trained by the renowned Rhode Island tenor Arturo Coppola and has been highly regarded for many years. She developed her live performing skills in top cover bands throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, some of those including her talented family members. She opened for the Village People in the 80’s and for Sister Sledge at Twin River Casino in early 2000.
Kenny Williams (lead vocals, guitar, bass guitar) is a soulful R&B style vocalist that captivates an audience and always keeps the dancers moving and grooving. Kenny has performed all over the country for many years. Back in the 90’s he was the lead vocalist in one of the top-rated cover bands in the U.S. that also included Jery on guitar. Kenny is an accomplished funk guitarist and bassist himself.
Jery Potenza (guitar, saxophones, bass, keyboards, vocals) is a multi-faceted musician and literally the backbone of 2nd To None. Equally adept on all of his instruments, he contributes enormously to the live feel of the band, sometimes playing several different instruments in a single song.
Debra, Kenny and Jery combine forces to lock into a groove that is truly “2nd To None ”.
