About the Johnny Cash Mural
NASHVILLE, TN - In September of 2003 the world lost an incredible
musical icon when legendary singer/songwriter Johnny Cash passed away at
the age of 71. That same month, three local, visual artists came
together to pay tribute to that man.
Those artists, Bryan Deese, Audie Adams and Ryan Shrader, who each are
members of the Thoughts Manifested (TM) crew, carefully scouted out a
location close to the honky tonk bars and The Country Music Hall of Fame
and obtained permission to create a sprawling work of art dedicated to
the memory of Johnny Cash. The mural would be completely accessible to
the general public and free of charge for onlookers to view and enjoy
for years to come.
For nearly a decade since, the 150-foot long, 12-foot tall piece has served as a Music City landmark, a destination for tourists and fans of Johnny Cash and a backdrop for numerous photo and video shoots featuring a slew of country artists.
Unfortunately, the combination of a near decade’s worth of unpredictable Nashville weather and tourists pealing off pieces of the paint to take home as souvenirs have rendered the mural rugged and in disrepair. Saving the mural is no longer an option at this point.
Thankfully, those original, three artists will once again unify their efforts and paint an entirely new mural in the same location once again dedicated to Johnny Cash. Utilizing free-handed and stencil techniques, the artists will pour through gallons upon gallons of premium paints to create repeating images of the legendary singer.
All members of the media and fans of Johnny Cash are invited to attend and witness this artwork in the making Friday, October 19 through Sunday, October 21. The location of the mural is 300 4th Avenue South at the corner of 4th and Molloy Street. The building wall on which the mural lays is currently home to Al Dente Catering.
