MARCO CAVIGLIA – Lead guitar and vocals - In love with Dire Straits' music and one of the world's top authorities in this field, as well as one of the few guitarists talented enough to emulate Mark Knopfler's guitar style, Marco formed a band in 1988 to play the music, which later led him to tour with Mark Knopfler's partner, Steve Phillips, from the Notting Hillbillies. But his dream was to play with his "heroes" from Dire Straits, and that dream came true in 2007 when he played in northern Italy with Dire Straits members Alan Clark and John Illsley, and later with Phil Palmer, Pick Withers, Danny from Dire Straits. Cummings, Mel Collins, and Jack Sonni, and now he is one of the fantastic band that is DSL Dire Straits Legacy.
STEVE WALTERS – Bass and vocals - When he was young, Steve Walters, while dancing at a party with his parents, was approached by bass legend Phil Chen for a private guitar lesson.
