The only thing better than Mark Knopfler at Central Park this evening would be Mark Knopfler at Central Park for free. Unfortunately, it’ll set you back $70 but it benefits free performances.
This is What it is:

Tonite: Dave Alvin

Dave is a dynamite performer so go the 55 Bar already…
This is Barn Burnin’

Tonite: Syd Kitchen

Syd Kitchen from South Africa is a guy worthy of some attention and you can give it to him this evening at the Cake Shop.
This vid is not especially representative but you can feel him…

Also: Every Monday at Barbes you can catch Chicha Libre …And the legendary Les Paul plays Iridium every Monday.

Santogold has some buzz around her these days and you won’t get a better chance to explore her vibe than a free show in Central Park. This evening more doughless goodness with Celebration who get no points for their name but plenty for their performances. Music Hall of Williamsburg is the venue for them.
Here’s Santogold:
