Every aspiring rock guitarist bows down to Jimmy Page and Slash, but Mark Knopfler? His band Dire Straits debuted in 1977 and met commercial success through the '80s. When DS disbanded in 1995, Knopfler had already embarked on a solo career that nurtured his experimental side, producing works ranging from small-town Americana to motion-picture scores, highlighting his skills as composer, poet, and kick-ass guitarist. Today, Knopfler remains one of the most under-sung heroes of rock guitar, so come see this sultan of more than just swing tonight at the Chicago Theatre.
