Parksville man is finalist in contest for talented bearded men

Published 4:02 pm Thursday, December 3, 2020

In a YouTube video, Parksville resident Corbin Musso plays a guitar and sings a song about a man who has to put his horse down because the horse is old and in pain. Musso wrote the song after a difficult time in life, he said, and the song is about personal responsibility, taking care of the things one has and trying to be the best person one can, but still being OK with feeling the emotion that comes along with responsibility.

This is the video he submitted to Wahl Grooming’s “Most Talented Beard in America” contest, which asks bearded men across the country to showcase their talents. So, of course, Musso sports a beard — a thick, dark one. In addition to making music, Musso is a freelance gunsmith who mostly does custom work and specializes in refinishing and small repairs.

Now, Musso is one of 10 finalists in the contest after “hundreds of hairy hopefuls” across the country submitted into the contest, according to a press release. According to the release, the first-place prize in the contest is $20,000 and the title of “Wahl Man of the Year,” the second-place winner receives $10,000, and the third-place winner gets $5,000. The public can vote for their “favorite bearded performer” until Dec. 9, and winners will be announced on or around Dec. 15, according to the release.

Musso didn’t enter the contest for the money, he said. He discovered the contest on Instagram and entered as a way to start making music again after he and his wife, Nancy Musso, faced a child dying during pregnancy for the third time. The first two times were in 2018, and the third happened this March.

“I kind of quit music after that,” Musso said. “I didn’t want to play for anybody or anything, and this was kind of a way to get myself out there again, so just clicking the ‘submit video’ button was kind of a win for me, so winning is not really the goal. I already got my win.”

Musso wrote the poem behind the words of the song he submitted into the contest after he and his wife experienced the first two pregnancy losses, had to put down two dogs, had another dog run away, and had some other personal issues. He recorded the music for the song after the third pregnancy loss the couple faced together.

Musso started playing the guitar when he was nine years old, and he started writing songs in high school once he became a better guitar player.

“But most of the songs I wrote were kind of angsty teenager stuff, so I tried to forget all of them,” he said with a laugh. “So I guess the one that sticks out to me the most is the one I submitted because it came after a tragedy, and it was the first song that I wrote after the tragedy, and it just meant a lot to me.”

He mostly writes his own songs when he plays and sings and does all kinds of music, but lately he’s “been into cowboy poetry.” He moved to Parksville from Sacramento, California, with his wife in 2017, the same year they got married. They became Christians before they got married, Musso said, and he said they “heard pretty strongly from God” that they needed to move East. They were going to live in Texas, but Musso got the “strong feeling” he should go see his dad, who lives in Forkland. Musso’s wife Nancy is an Army and combat veteran, and he said he saw her more relaxed on his dad’s porch in Forkland. And in Parksville, Musso took the step to put himself out there with the song and contest after neglecting music for a time.

Every November, the world is treated to an influx of men with facial hair. Thanks to both the Movember campaign and No-Shave November which have gained popularity with celebrities and random dudes alike, men are growing out their mustaches and beards to raise money and awareness for cancer prevention and men's health initiatives. If you're not a fan of furry faces, this can be a bummer, but for those who love their hirsute hunks, it's a time ripe for celebration.

The history of facial hair is fascinating. It was in fashion for high-ranking men in ancient Egypt to grow hair on their chins, and both kings and queens were known to sport metal beards as signs of their sovereignty. Fast forward to the Medieval era, and English knights had special armor to make room for their mustaches, and today, in India, men part of a traditionally lower caste are posting mustache selfies to subvert the reigning social order. In short, facial hair can indeed by political and reflect cultural values, but, above all, it can be very, very sexy.

If you prefer a clean-shaven face, the following is not for you. Here are six study-based reasons why women find facial hair fine AF.

In a survey of nearly 2,500 women conducted by the dating site WhatsYourPrice.com, over 60 percent found men's facial hair attractive. Of the 1,500 ladies who checked the box for bewhiskered bros, it was beards that beat out mustaches. Only 6.44 percent of women preferred mustaches alone, while 43.27 percent preferred a beard alone. However, most women preferred a full facial coverup, with 50.29 percent choosing both a mustache and a beard as their ideal grooming choice.

According to one study published in the Journal of Evolutionary Behavior, all beards are not created equal. 8,520 women were divided into three groups, each of which were shown pictures of men with different degrees of facial hair. After looking at images of clean shaven men, men with light stubble (5+ days of growth), men with heavy stubble (10 days of growth), and men with a full, thick beard, the results showed that desirability depends on what you're looking for.

Women rated men with light stubble as most appealing for a one-night stand, closely followed by men with heavier stubble. Conversely, women rated men with full beards as most appealing for a long-term commitment and/or as a father for their children.

Although different kinds of facial hair produces different effects in women, all facial hair projects a masculine vibe. Another 2016 study published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology affirmed that women view men with facial hair to be not only more masculine, but more confident, industrious, generous and sincere than men who do not have facial hair.

As the abovementioned study found, beard length can say a lot about a guy. According to Medical Daily, researchers from the University of New South Wales, Australia asked 351 women and 177 heterosexual men to weigh in on men with various phases of beard growth, and rate each bearded face for 'attractiveness, masculinity, health and potential parenting ability.'

Interestingly, men with a heavy 10-day beard were ranked most attractive, where men with light stubble (5 days of growth) got the lowest scores across the board from both men in women in each category.

Because bearded men are more likely to be subconsciously (or consciously!) perceived as masculine, it's not a stretch that they also be viewed as being better fathers than their clean shaven brothers, thank to the evolutionary instincts which connect masculine traits with health. A study published in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior suggests that women are more likely to rank a bearded man as a better father than a non-bearded man, and view him as more likely to stick around and both protect and invest in his potential offspring.

The same study which found women view bearded men as more masculine and as better parents also found that this view increased during the fertile part of a woman's menstrual cycle.

The takeaway? Beards are intimately tied to many biological urges, which means that stubbly guys looking to settle down or hookup this November might just find themselves getting lucky with a babely beard fan.
