Full Cord was formed on an old Michigan logging road in the fall of ’08. Sawin’ logs and pickin’ bluegrass came naturally to the members of Full Cord. Born out of wood, steel and horse hair, the band takes the traditional music to a level rarely seen along the back roads of Michigan. With sounds reminiscent of newgrass bands from decades prior, the band electrifies audiences with mind bending riffs and hard driving bluegrass. If you haven’t seen this band in action, this is a must! Because we want you to. 

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 sometimes 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.


THE BAND

Eric is a multi-instrumentalist with an exceptional ear for music. He has been in many bands including Down Home and Woodpile. Affectionately called “Fast Eric” by his peers, his lighting fast riffs on the guitar are a sight to behold and a joy to listen to.

Todd has played bass since his early teens and grew up attending bluegrass festivals. He has honed his skills on the upright bass over the years and has played in several bluegrass bands including Rusty Thimbles, Continental Blue, and Who Hit John?

DANNY                                                                                                                                                                      SEABOLT
A violin and bow maker by trade, Danny knows fiddles. His electrifying fiddling skills add a whole new dimension to the band’s performances in the best way possible. Danny has performed with Max and Ruth Bloomquist, and continues to perform with The Oat Bran Boys at the Red Rooster Tavern in Muskegon. Danny and Todd also volunteer as Muso’s at Midwest Banjo Camp in Olivet, MI every year.
