Joe Jackson
On this episode of Rob Reinhart’s Essential Music, I celebrate the birthdays of Dire Straits co-founder Mark Knopfler, who turns 75 today (Aug. 12) and British musician Joe Jackson, who turned 70 this past Sunday.
I also feature a couple of Detroit’s finest up-and-comers who’ll be joining us on Thursday for WDET’s Sounds Like Detroit concert at New Center Park! You can grab tickets here.
