Last night, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs lit up the Vogue Theatre with a no-frills, all-heart rock show that proved the former Heartbreaker isn’t done writing his story.

Opening the show was Shannon McNally, who won the crowd over with her smoky vocals and easy stage presence. Her cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Cactus Tree” earned a cheer or two.

Mike Campbell, best known as the longtime guitarist and co-writer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, has played on some of rock’s most enduring songs: “Refugee,” “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” and “You Got Lucky,” to name a few. He’s also worked with Fleetwood Mac, Don Henley, and Bob Dylan, and co-wrote hits like “Boys of Summer.” Since forming The Dirty Knobs in the late 2000s, Campbell has stepped out front with his own material: bluesy, irreverent, and full of heart.

At the Vogue Theatre, Campbell led his band through a mix of Dirty Knobs songs and a few fan-favourites from his Heartbreakers days. He cracked jokes between songs, grinned often, and made it clear he was having a blast. The crowd, a mix of longtime fans and curious first-timers, soaked up every note.
