Full Frontal Folk is a high-energy trio, combining the talents of Wendy Fuhr, Jennifer Schonwald and Courtney Malley. They've taken that old folk music from the 50’s & 60’s out of the closet, dusted it off, polished it up and brought it back into the world. The Trio shares a love of traditional, old-timey and bluegrass music, as well as contemporary singer-songwriter, pop & punk — pulling it all together as a full sensory experience.
Wendy Fuhr began singing folk tunes at home with her family as early as she can remember. She started classical violin at 9 years old, but quickly picked up old-time and bluegrass fiddle by accompanying her dad to music festivals. Wendy sang in and was musical director for a women's a cappella group in college, and found a love of harmony which has followed her since!
Jen Schonwald was brought up surrounded by traditional American, Blues and Celtic folk music and Opera as a child. At an early age she began weaving vocal harmonies as all of her parents encouraged her to join her voice with theirs. Jen began studying Classical Voice as a young teen.
Courtney Malley comes from a family with a tradition of ‘seanois’ singing and story telling. As a child, she was raised within the rich Philadelphia folk community being exposed to many different types of live music from the Philadelphia Orchestra to Irish traditional music.
