Singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler, with special guest Pieta Brown, will perform at 8 p.m. April 22 at the Fox Theatre.Knopfler is touring in support of his current solo album "Get Lucky." Released on Sept. 15, 2009, "Get Lucky" is the Dire Straits’ lead singer and songwriter’s sixth studio album.
The album was recorded at Knopfler’s award-winning British Grove Studios in West London, and co-produced with longtime collaborators, engineer Chuck Ainlay and keyboardist Guy Fletcher. It also features Richard Bennett, Danny Cummings, John McCusker, Matt Rollings, and Glenn Worf.
A multiple Grammy award winner for work with Dire Straits, Knopfler combined his wry lyrics with his guitar prowess to create such major hits as “Money For Nothing,” “Sultans Of Swing,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Walk of Life.” He has produced records for Bob Dylan and Randy Newman as well as scoring several films including Cal, Local Hero, Princess Bride and A Shot at Glory.
Singer-songwriter Pieta Brown will be opening for Mark Knopfler. Pieta's new CD, "One and All," will be released on Red House Records April 6, directly preceding the tour. Pieta combines Americana, indie-rock and raw folk, employing guitars, keyboards, and pedal steel.
