The band is opening for Lucinda Williams in a concert on Sunday at the Sound music club in Del Mar
After 41 years with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and two years with Fleetwood Mac, guitarist Mike Campbell is finally gaining confidence as a songwriter and singer with his own band, the Dirty Knobs.“It’s taken me a while to get to the confidence as a writer with words and vocals. The confidence is 90 percent of the game,” said Campbell. “If you believe I can make this happen, then it starts to happen. I’m a late bloomer, I guess.
“I begged him. He said, ‘Sure I’ll make your song better.’ Tongue in cheek,” Campbell recalled. “So I sent him the song, me being a Hollies groupie, and I was thrilled when he sent it back to me with layered voices like a Hollies record.” Williams and Campbell’s band are now finishing up a seven-gig mini-tour together, with their final joint gig on Sunday at the Sound concert hall in Del Mar.
Ferrone, who played with the Heartbreakers for their final 23 years, was the original Knobs drummer but Matt Laug took over before recently exiting for his dream gig with AC/DC. Two years ago, the Texas guitarist/keyboardist Holt signed on.
