Album Notes

Accidental Charm merges vocal harmony-based pop with a heady, driving rock backbone. Rob Isele and Tom Godsman--best known in the Washington area from their work in the late 1990s and early 21st Century with the Beatles tribute band The Invasion--bring British rock influences into the mix with Jack Albert and Brad Davis to create thought-provoking lyrics and memorable melodies. As the title of All Over the Map implies, their musical influences are far too diverse to pigeon hole into one predictable genre.

Meet the Band

Tom Godsman (vocals, guitar) - Besides being the lead guitarist, Tom is our resident musical arranger in the group. He is also a creative and prolific songwriter. Beatle fans might be interested in knowing that Tom now moonlights as George Harrison in professional touring Beatle tribute bands.

Rob Isele (vocals, bass, keyboards, guitar, trumpet) - His taste in music has been called everything from eclectic to horrible, but he would like to think it's all been a misunderstanding. Actually, Rob's philosophy is this - music is a great big stew, and most of the meat and potatoes come from the 60's and 70's. As you move on in time, you want to apply newer sounds as you would a strong, possibly pungent spice. Rob is also the screamer of the group - not only by choice, but the greatest ability.

Jack Albert (vocals, bass, guitar)- When you see us play, Jack, besides playing a mean rhythm guitar, will be the one announcing the songs, the band, etc. He definitely likes to rock out. Does that mean he doesn't write ballads? Yes. He is also the recording engineer of the group. All three of Accidental Charm’s albums were recorded in his studio.

Rick Twigg (drums) - Accidental Charm’s first drummer’s formal training is evident in his precision playing on All Over the Map.
