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 the former location of Kermit’s Soul Kitchen 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,” was released in 1957 starring Elvis Presley.
