This Six String Nation Guitar http://sixstringnation.com mural was painted on the side of Lee's Palace, a legendary music hall in Toronto, ON Canada due to Jeff Cohen, the property owner, and his staff of both Lee's Palace and The Horseshoe Tavern believing in Kedre, and his legal graffiti 'crew member' Jessy Pacho.

Special thank you for the funding for the project from http://Luminato.com, and all the organizational and behind the scenes work done by Leyla Bulcan and Paul Aiello of http://CommunityCAVE.com -- Communities Advancing Valued Environments.
