Mark Knopfler
New dates for 2019!
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.

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

MASTERFUL
Everything I had hoped for and more. The mix of instruments and the level of talent around him was masterful. Beautiful synergy and flow of oid and new music. Loved every minute. A beautiful night in open air pavilion on Boston harbor made for a magical night. One note to some of these other comments about song choice... you bought tickets to MARK KNOPFLER... NOT Dire Straits... so that’s a YOU problem. I thought the mix was perfect. He’s a genius artist still sharing his craft and talent with us after all these years. Be grateful and respectful of his evolution and get out of your high school head. ... 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
