An Acoustic-Based Pop-Rock, Blues, Alt-Country, & Rockabilly Duo

Julio "Jules" Cuomo and Nick Coppola are veterans of the Chicago area club scene. Together they played for 5 years in the "Word on the Street" -- a mostly original pop-rock band that would sneak in a blues number or two. The two also formed "The Discount Rack Rack All-Stars" (DRAS), an all original 5-piece pop-rock band which performed regularly from 2004-2008.

These days, Julio and Nick perform as a duo. The majority of the songs they do are covers, but they also throw in a few soaring melodic instrumentals that Nick composes as well as a few of the crunchy pop-rockers that Julio scores. The band covers songs from Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Elvis Presley, Gin Blossoms, Freddie King, BoDeans, Muddy Waters, Stray Cats, Johnny Cash, Bo Diddley, Barenaked Ladies, and others.

With about a decade of club and coffee house experience under their belt, Julio and Nick are sure to please the crowd with a tight show for your venue or family gathering. Please call 708.278.1501 if you are interested in having the band over.

Here is what one happy talent buyer had to say:

Julio & Nick, I cannot thank you both enough for coming out & playing for our St. Pat's Benefit. I know everyone enjoyed themselves and your music was awesome. Thank you again.

--Laurie, Talent Buyer / Event Coordinator for St. Beatrice School's St. Pat's Benefit
