The popular group began as a gospel quartet in October 2000 with members Terry McCort, Brad Wilson, Tony Huntsman, and originally Mark Hatfield singing lead.  In July 2001 Hatfield moved to Ashland, Ohio, and Wes Wilson, Brad's son, was unquestioningly accepted as the standout lead for O-A-C.  Over the next five years, the group showed wonderful versatility by adding patriotic, barbershop, oldies and doo wop to the repertoire.  In December 2005, Wes made a career move to Lancaster, Ohio, and Tyler McCort, Terry's son, was selected as lead.

One-A-Chord's very first recording venture into the field of oldies & doo wop was a true success.  Their Shades of the Past  CD was selected by CASA (Contemporary A cappella Society of America) as the Best A cappella Doo Wop Album of 2005.

The religious roots of the quartet are deep in the Church of Christ where A cappella singing (in chapel style without instrumental accompaniment) is the standard. In October 2003 a well-received gospel CD of 10 a cappella songs was released entitled One Lord, One Faith.

Their spontaneous humor and audience interaction makes each performance delightfully unique.
