Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler at Santa Barbara Bowl

Why see Mark Knopfler?

The lovesick romeo is back on the road!

Ex-Dire Straits British singer-songwriter and guitarist returns to the limelight in 2019 with a brand new tour in support of his latest record, Down The Road Wherever. Famed for his fingerstyle playing, the Brit is a unique talent with a back catalog of classics stretching back over two decades, as well as having toured in the past with Bob Dylan.

Considered to be the most celebrated British guitar hero to emerge in the 1970s and '80s, Knopfler led Dire Straits to new heady heights of fame, with his songwriting skills and finger-style guitaring played a crucial role in cementing their international success. Nowadays Knopfler has built an impressive career independently of Straits as a producer, sideman, songwriter, and film composer, working alongside some of the most respected and best-known figures in music.

Loved it!

Had never seen MK, my husband had seen him when in DS. We downloaded the songs a month ago to famliarize ourselves with them as had not know many. The band was spectatular, Mark Knopfler was amazing and his voice was powerful and subtle. Something hard to do. Emotion and focus together. The songs were deep, thanks to Genius.com for giving us background on a few. We especially loved "Sailing to Philadelphia" and "Speedway at Nazareth" as well as "Wae Aye Man." ... Read more

Layered and Gorgeous

Came up from Philly for this concert and was sooo glad we did. The sound was perfect. Could hear every note of every instrument. Loved the variety of instruments and talent on stage. Like an orchestra with the loveliest, softest, purest of sounds all playing off each other like voices. Seeing the joy in the audience really added to the experience. Worth it! ... Read more

Awesome as only Knopfler can be

Folks should not expect to attend a MK concert to hear old Dire Straits songs. He left DS behind in 1992 and has not looked back. Country blues and folk and deliciously mesmerizing guitar playing along with his distinctive vocals was the bulk of concert, but Speedway at Nazareth was the crown jewel. His backing band which consists of highly gifted musicians who have been with him for many years are a joy in themselves. Moody Theater is a great intimate venue. Highly recommend and I’ll be there in September to revel in Marks exceptional talent again ... Read more
