Official Mural Of The Kody Norris Show In Mountain City Unveiled

10-07-2025

(2911) Kody Norris & The Kody Norris Show were honored over the weekend with the official unveiling of the brand new mural celebrating Norris' musical legacy in his hometown of Mountain City, Tennessee and made possible through the efforts of the established nonprofit, Johnson County Historical Society 501(c)(3), in conjunction with the Friends of Kody Norris, an organization dedicated to supporting projects that uplift the community through music and the arts.

The mural was painted by Tim White. The unveiling was the official kickoff for the 100th annual Mountain City Fiddlers' Convention at Heritage Hall Theatre Square in the heart of Mountain City, Tennessee-where it all began in 1925.

"I have never been so honored in my life when I stepped on that stage to see the finished mural and such a supportive community," shares Norris. "I was born in Mountain City, Tennessee, and will always call it home. I am humbled and blessed. Thank you, everyone!"

The Mountain City Fiddlers' Convention featured many of the same competition categories as in years past! This year's featured acts included performances by The Kody Norris Show, Wyatt Ellis Band, The Tennessee Bluegrass Band, Pete Denahy, Larry Sparks, and more!

The 2025 Mountain City Fiddlers' Convention was hosted by The Kody Norris Show, sponsored in part by Skyline National Bank, Tennessee Arts Commission, East Tennessee Foundation, Farmers State Bank, Nalley's Shirt Shop, Tennessee Sounds Perfect, and more!

The group recently won their first International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Bluegrass Music Award, taking home Music Video of the Year for their rousing take on "The Auctioneer." The trophy was presented at the 36th Annual IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
