Sudden Impact formed when Rick approached Chad about starting a new band. Chad agreed on the condition that Rick find a singer and guitarist, if not both in the same package. Rick was true to his word and soon Charlie showed up with amp and guitar in hand. Mo Hughes, An old band-mate of Charlie's, came to Sudden Impact with a very impressive resume of keys/guitar/bass skills. Mo quickly added his personal touch to the band. It took just one practice session, and something started to feel pretty good.

Yet, something was missing. Sudden Impact needed a girl singer, and the band was lucky enough to get the best... Charlotte Ruppert. When Charlotte accepted our offer to become Sudden Impact's voice, we couldn't have been happier. Charlotte came to us with a lifetime of singing and theatrical experience, and, everyone agrees, she shakes a mean tambourine to boot.

Sudden Impact prides itself on a century of combined playing experience. Rick plays bass at his church as well as other band projects. Charlie is very active in a local theater group where he acts and designs & builds sets. He's also involved in other band projects. Chad plays in another band providing his outlet for volume and high-energy rock and roll. His experience includes all sorts of playing venues ranging from pit orchestras to German festhalle’s. Mo has decades of live performing experience. He gives the band depth. Charlotte's professionalism, warm smle, and  unbridled enthusiasm brings every performance to life.

Charlotte, Rick, Charlie, Mo and Chad - Sudden Impact. Music plays an integral part in all of our lives. We share its passion with our kids, friends, and basically anybody willing to appreciate it. We hope you will allow us to share it with you. After all, we’re doing this. . . Because the Music Matters!
