Give Us a Sign.

Kellie Talbot is a sign painter of a different sort, and a perfect pairing for The Dixie Cups. Her photorealistic style depicts American icons that defined the mid-century American landscape, embodied in the exuberant and once ubiquitous neon signs that beckoned us with vivid colors from every street corner. They’re mostly gone now, but like The Dixie Cups with only Barbara still with us, who glowed sonically on vinyl, Talbot relights this pioneering girl group with a period-perfect mid-century sign. 

For the 2024 Poster – marking the mid-century of the series – Talbot imagines a neon sign hanging under a French Quarter balcony for six decades - since The Dixie Cups first stormed the national stage in 1964 - proudly wearing years of patina and radiant in its endurance.
