  Sudden Impact formed
in early 2008 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 was standing in Chad’s
garage with amp and guitar in hand. It took just one prictice session,
and something started to feel pretty good. Without
hesitation, Chad made one excited call. Welcome to the band
Greg. Chad and Greg go back to middle school as friends and
musicians. With Greg’s keyboard, sax, and vocal
talents,
everyone felt this could be the beginning of something really unique
and diverse in a city of similar sounds and faces.
We
pride ourselves on a century of combined playing
experience.
Rick plays
bass at his church as well as other band projects.
Greg performs for the elderly in local long-term care facilities and
he has performed at many weddings and special
events.
Charlie is very active in a local theater group where he plays and
designs/builds sets as well as other band projects. Chad
plays in
another band providing his outlet for volume and high-energy rock and
roll. He is fortunate enough to have had many years combining
all
sorts of playing venues ranging from pit orchestras to German
festhalle’s.
April,
2009. It's Spring, and Spring is a time of new beginnings. Sudden
Impact's new beginning is Charlotte Ruppert. Charlotte
graciously
accepted our offer to become
Sudden Impact's voice
and we could not be happier. Charlotte
comes to us with a
lifetime of singing and theatrical experience, and, everyone in the
band agrees, she shakes a mean tambourine to boot.
Charlotte,
Rick, Greg, Chad
& Charlie. . . 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! |
