Work continues on Mellencamp mural in Seymour

SEYMOUR — Work is continuing on a mural in Seymour that is a tribute to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Seymour native John Mellencamp on the east wall of This Old Guitar Music Store, 106 W. Second St.

Mayor Craig Luedeman said Hoosier artist Pamela Bliss is painting the mural. Bliss is well-known and respected in the state for her work, including a 60-foot Reggie Miller mural and a Kurt Vonnegut mural, both in Indianapolis. It will cost $25,106 and is being funded by the Seymour Redevelopment Commission.

Mellencamp has signed off on the project and location

This Old Guitar is owned by Larry McDonald, who used to play in a band with Mellencamp when they were younger.
