Bio

Full Cord has an extraordinary song base that spans through originals, newgrass, traditional, covers, swing, jazz and more. The skill level and training of the members of Full Cord provides a lot of room for stylizing to their hearts content and doing it exceptionally well. With two shows never the same their followers in Michigan try to catch every show never knowing what teaser or new song will be in the set list.
This is not your Grandpa's bluegrass, although they can blow some rocking chairs back with their trad skills.
