Full Cord

When it comes to movers and shakers in the bluegrass world, Full Cord is a super-group on the rise. They dial it in with unexpected twists and turns in the compositions that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

After winning the prestigious 2022 Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition in Colorado, the Michigan-based group followed that with another much-coveted honor when the International Bluegrass Music Association named Full Cord its “Momentum Award Band of the Year.”

While mandolinist Brian Oberlin notes the band’s music “is new and fresh to the ears of seasoned bluegrass fans,” the bluegrass traditions in Full Cord have deep roots.

The Trio keeps that Full Cord sound at the core of the group alive and plays into some different material while also performing originals.
