Harmony by the Bay Series Begins with Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns

Harmony by the Bay’s first concert of the series is scheduled for June 19 and features Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns.

Jay Whitney originally formed Big Mouth in 1980 around Flint, Mich. The band’s focus at that time was to play an eclectic mix of blues, jazz, and original music. The band flourished for a number of years playing at clubs and festivals throughout Michigan. The band stopped when a few of its members went on the road with other touring bands.

Whitney moved to Door County in 1989 and formed a new Big Mouth with Pat Judy, Woody Mankowski, and Paul Sowinski in 1990. After reaching a level of success in Door County and Green Bay, the band decided to add a horn section, this being the birth of the Power Tool Horns. Over the years players have come and gone, but the band’s focus is still the same as it was originally in 1980.
