Mouthman Adult & Kids Hoodies Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]
Mouth Man was Founded by Ross Valory, Original Member and Founder of the rock band Journey. Ross is Journey’s noted bass player and along with Neal Schon, is the only original member of the band still performing with the group. Aside from the Raised on Radio album sessions (and subsequent tour) in 1986, Ross has played on all of Journey’s albums.
One of the innovations that Ross uses is to string a four-string bass with the bottom four strings of a 5-string set. Thus, instead of the usual E-A-D-G arrangement, his bass is strung as B-E-A-D. This adds the five string depth to the songs, while allowing the quick fingering of a four-string neck.
He also plays keyboards, guitar and the recorder.
Ross Valory also played for The Vu, The Storm, Frumious Bandersnatch and the Steve Miller Band.
The Concept……
One day, on a short break from touring, Ross was visiting friends in Arizona, sipping coffee and “just hanging out” … as his friend’s kids were tearing around the house doing something they referred to as the “JAWS”… According to Ross, the kids were running through the house in a single line..arms crossed one over the other , elbows splayed out in front, and opening and closing in a chopping fashion… and making monster noises. He thought it was cute, and didnt think much else of it….. until another day… some 20 years later, when that very memory just arbitrarily “popped” into his head… Ross “hugged himself” in the same fashion those kids did years ago, and thought…”hmmmm, it would be cool if there was a shirt with a graphic on the sleeves that would form a face with a mouth that would open and close when you put your arms together!”
That was the lightbulb moment for Ross Valory!
And the soon to be “Mouth Man” Enterprise was concieved. He quickly called his friend and fellow Journey founding member Prairie Prince, an accomplished drummer who also happened to be a world reknowned graphic artist! Prairie’s initial designs were remarkable custom airbrushed works of art…the concept-implemented perfectly.
I absolutely love the idea behind Mouthman kids hoodiesanimated apparel! My kids love fun clothes, and their new Mouthman Orca Whale hoodie is at the top of their list. They love it because it’s fun, and they fight over who gets to wear it. I love it because it’s unique, they love to wear it, and it helps protect their skin when we’re in the sun! This is super lightweight, which is great because we really didn’t have anything like it previously. They can wear it even on a hot day, and it has UPF 50 so it’s great protection. And not only is it good for my kids, it’s good for the environment- their hoodies are made of recycled fabric from plastic bottles. Doesn’t get any better than that! There is such a huge selection; they are bound to have one of your kids favorite animals. They also carrymens and womens hoodies. These are really great, be sure to check them out today!
