Full Cord started as a project between band members Todd Kirchner, Eric Langejans, and Rob Maul. All seasoned bluegrass musicians, they wanted to build a musically diverse band using traditional bluegrass instruments.

The band has an extraordinary song base, with songs ranging from traditional country and bluegrass to modern pop hits, big band era tunes and everything in between (and we do mean everything!). With hundreds of songs in their repertoire, they never run out of songs to choose from.

The band’s performances are done using a single microphone traditionally seen on the Grand Ole Opry. Instrument solos and vocal parts are all choreographed around the single microphone bringing an old-timey feel to their performance.

Based in West Michigan, Full Cord has had the privilege of performing all over the state, from private parties and events to breweries, barns and bluegrass festivals.

With the talent of over 100 years combined musical experience, Full Cord has brought their own style to traditional bluegrass. They are introducing bluegrass music to the masses in a way that keeps everyone coming back for more.
