Mark Knopfler announces new album, North American tour, chance to win a date with the Knopf

WIN A DATE WITH MARK KNOPFLER! WIN A DATE WITH MARK KNOPFLER! WIN A DATE WITH MARK KNOPFLER! WIN A DATE WITH MARK KNOPFLER! WIN A DATE WITH MARK KNOPFLER!

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, you can win yourself a date with songwriter and Dire Straits guitarist Mark “The Knopf” Knopfler. But, first, you gotta prove you want it bad enough. Write a 10,000-word essay detailing why you, the prospective lovebird, deserve a date with The Knopf. Send it to knopfkisses@tinymixtapes.com or address a 6 x 10 postcard (you’re gonna have to write real small) to Tiny Mix Tapes HQ, 804 Vaporwave Boulevard, Tucson, AZ, 85701. We’ll get back to you in 10-12 weeks.

But that’s not all, Knopf heads! While he’s not looking for love, the guitar legend has been working on a new record. Tracker, his eighth solo album, comes out March 17 through Verve Records. Listen to the first single “Beryl” below via VEVO. March 17, as it just so happens, is my birthday. “I chose March 17 as the record’s release date because it’s Eric Nagurney’s birthday,” Knopfler said. “He’s a great guy.”

Of course, there can’t be any more Mark Knopfler news. Wrong again, dummy! There obviously is! Just by scanning this paragraph, you can see there’s more information! Here’s that information you so desire: Knopfler is going on a 36-city North American tour beginning in September. It begins in Vancouver and winds all around North America until ending in Fort Lauderdale on Halloween. Is there a single date in November? There is not. Mark Knopfler would never stand for it.
