(Radio Iowa) – Construction is underway on a giant mural bearing the likenesses of Don and Phil Everly on Highway 2 in southwest Iowa, alerting tourists to the Everly Brothers Childhood Home in Shenandoah. California artist John Cerney created the mural, which he says targets motorists who may not know of the brothers’ rich history, and how the duo parlayed performances as young children on K-M-A in the 1940s to music stardom as rock-and-roll pioneers in the 1950s and ’60s.

Cerney, the creator of similar signs in southwest Iowa, says the mural is more eyecatching than the run-of-the-mill billboards dotting the countryside.

For an Everlys Brothers’ fans like Cerney, the mural is a labor of love.

Cerney and two assistants plan to return to the mural today (Thursday) for waterproofing and other finishing touches. Shenandoah Chamber and Industry Association officials hope visitors will stop by the Everly Brothers house during Shenfest weekend in late September.
