The Monkees

Monkees’ singer Michael Nesmith came through town last year to talk about his illustrious career. His resume includes stints as an actor, producer and novelist. Some of the songs he wrote were hits for the Monkees while others were hits for people like Linda Ronstadt & the Stone Poneys, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Butterfield Blues Band and even Run-DMC. Nesmith also has extensive experience in Hollywood; he executive-produced Repo Man and founded Pacific Arts, a record, film and video production house and book publisher. But he’s best known for his work with the Monkees. While the passing of Davy Jones leaves the band without one of its key members, original members Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz join Nesmith for tonight’s show. (Niesel)
