Dire Straits co-founder David Knopfler will perform in concert in Westerly to benefit Rhode Island flood victims.
Knopfler talked about the concert with NBC 10's Dan Jaehnig on Tuesday. (Watch video above.)
Knopfler co-founded the classic 1980s rock group Dire Straits and recorded three albums along with his brother, Mark, before resigning three years later to follow his own path of independent, singer-songwriter.
Ship of Dreams, Knopfler’s latest album, features guest appearances by Chris Rea and Alan Clark (Dire Straits) among others.
Knopfler, along with his longtime musical partner Harry Bogdanovs, are doing a handful of dates in the U.S. this spring.
They will be performing at The Knickerbocker Cafe at 35 Railroad Ave. in Westerly at 8 p.m. Monday. Call 401-315-5070 or visit the Web site for more information.
Part of the proceeds from the concert will go to the Johnnycake Center of Westerly to aid the victims of the flood.
