Maggie Rose & Wanda Jackson Featured In Pickers Original Vodka Mural Series
Pickers Original Vodka, Tennessee’s first craft vodka, has unveiled the next mural in its ongoing series. The newest installment honors Maggie Rose and Wanda Jackson and is located at Exit/In at 2208 Elliston Place.
The mural series serves to highlight Pennington Distilling Company’s pledge that $1 for every bottle of Pickers Original Vodka sold at Middle Tennessee bars, restaurants, and venues that support live music will be donated to Music Health Alliance. For every $1 donation, MHA is able to provide $30 in life-saving healthcare resources.
“It was an honor to be featured in a mural on the exterior of the historic Exit/In, but what made it even more special was the fact that I was pictured next to rockabilly hero and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Wanda Jackson,” shares Rose. “Thanks to Pickers Vodka for letting me be a part of their campaign supporting the wonderful work of the Music Health Alliance.”
Jeff and Jenny Pennington, co-founders of Pickers Vodka, add: “We are excited to honor Maggie Rose and Wanda Jackson with this mural at Exit/In. Also, we are proud to help the Music Health Alliance in their mission to support all musicians for many years to come.”
Pickers Vodka commissioned Nashville mural artist Bryan Deese to launch the mural series in 2020. So far, the series has featured LadyCouch, Moon Taxi, Chris Schruggs, Guthrie Trap, Sam Bush & Kendell Marvel, Alyanna Royale and Jerry Pentecost. Additional murals will be commissioned through 2022.
