The famous Nashville “Legends” mural has been updated. It’s located on the side of the famous bar, Legends Corner, and just down from the Ryman Auditorium.

He’s painted wearing a blue shirt and his trademark black cowboy hat.

According to an email from the artist, Tim Davis, to USA Today, “Ultimately, the changes are not up to me, but up to the owners of the Legends Corner bar.”

Other changes are scheduled during the month of January. Three more country stars are going to be added, including one female artist “sketched out between Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks” Artist Tim Davis wouldn’t share any more details.
We’ll keep you updated.
