AGMP presents David Knopfler

In 1977 David Knopfler founded Dire Straits, and with brother Mark Knopfler recorded three albums Dire Straits, Communique and Making Movies, touring the stadium circuit extensively, before resigning to follow his own path as an independent singer-songwriter.

For more than three decades he’s faithfully pursued his musical vision, writing and producing his own music on thirteen solo CDs to date, writing underscores for television and movies, and authoring a “Bluffer’s Guide” and a book of poetry along the way.

 David creates songs of substance: they are, by turns, deep and captivating, elegant and thought-provoking, his exquisite sense of melody blending effortlessly with clever, gripping lyrics.
