Jailhouse Rock Elvis Mural
Overview
Local artist Kit Stafford painted this eye-catching mural of young Elvis showing off one of his signature dance moves on the side of the alley next to Van Atkins Jewelers in Downtown Tupelo. The mural, commissioned in 2017 as part of the Off The Wall: Changing the ARTmosphere in Tupelo Brick by Brick project, depicts Elvis wearing standard jail-issued blues with jail cell bars behind him. The movie, "Jailhouse Rock," starring Elvis Presley, was released in 1957.
