Micky Dolenz to honor fellow Monkees in concert (UPDATED 4/1/2022)

Micky Dolenz celebrates The Monkees
Micky Dolenz will hit the road this April for a special series of shows designed to pay tribute to his longtime bandmates Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork. "Micky Dolenz Celebrates The Monkees" opens on April 5, 2022 at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee and will close in Madison, Wisconsin on April 16 at Overture Center for the Arts. 

Joining Micky onstage will be the members of "The Mike & Micky Show" band: Wayne Avers, Emeen Zarookian, Gemma Dolenz, Rich Dart, Alex Jules, John Billings, and Pete Finney.

"We will be fully delving into The Monkees' songbook, as well as Micky's personal archive of films and photos to create a unique evening of memories," said manager Andrew Sandoval earlier today on social media. "It will give Micky and the band an opportunity to share the music he made alongside Davy, Peter, and Michael and reminisce on their journey as brothers for five decades. We have also been talking about Micky singing some songs he's never done on stage before, as well as pulling out older Monkees album tracks that have not been performed in many years. It is unclear if we will be doing anything beyond these nine shows in this format, but we are truly looking forward to being together again to celebrate the Monkees in song."

Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 11 but presales will begin on Tuesday, February 9 with the presale code CELEBRATE for all shows. Check out the official press release with tour dates below, as well as the most up-to-date press coverage regarding the announcement of the tour.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Picture
Micky Dolenz of The Monkees will embark on a special series of concert dates in April 2022. Honoring the contributions of his bandmates – the late Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith & Peter Tork – in song and with personal multimedia footage of the legendary performers, Dolenz will celebrate their lasting legacy on record and film. Launching on April 5 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, the tour will end on April 16 at Madison’s Overture Center For The Arts.

Following the passing of his three bandmates and brothers, Dolenz will bring together fans of the group to commemorate their collective contributions in song. "I felt it was important to gather the fans and properly celebrate the lives of Davy, Mike and Peter," says Dolenz. "People have been contacting me, requesting that I honor them in a way where the extraordinary impact of The Monkees can be properly acknowledged. We spent such a great deal of time together; they were like my brothers, and I want to share some of the great joy we had together."

Commemorating more than 50 years of music, Dolenz will be backed by a seven-piece band, performing all of The Monkees’ worldwide hits ("I'm A Believer," "Daydream Believer," "Last Train To Clarksville," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "(I'm Not Your) Steppin’ Stone" and "That Was Then, This Is Now") as well as paying tribute to the songs of Mike Nesmith ("Different Drum," "Mary, Mary," "Papa Gene’s Blues," and "Listen To The Band") and Peter Tork ("For Pete's Sake" and "Can You Dig It"). Davy Jones will be honored with a spotlight on several songs that he made famous ("Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" and "Valleri"). Along with their songs, Dolenz will share stories and unseen images of The Monkees from his personal archive.

"We will be fully delving into The Monkees' songbook, as well as Micky's personal archive of films and photos to create a unique evening of memories," shared manager Andrew Sandoval on social media. "It will give Micky and the band an opportunity to share the music he made alongside Davy, Peter & Michael and reminisce on their journey as brothers for five decades. We have also been talking about Micky singing some songs he's never done on stage before, as well as pulling out older Monkees album tracks that have not been performed in many years. It is unclear if we will be doing anything beyond these seven shows in this format, but we are truly looking forward to being together again to celebrate the Monkees in song."

7a Records recently delivered exciting news for Monkees fans when it announced Dolenz Sings Nesmith - The E.P. was set for release on March 18, 2022 on 10" colored vinyl and via all digital platforms. The extended play disc, featuring four songs from the sessions that yielded Micky Dolenz's critically acclaimed 2021 solo album Dolenz sings Nesmith (produced by Michael's son, Christian) includes "Soul-Writer's Birthday," a previously unreleased Michael Nesmith composition that Nez originally copyrighted in October 1967 but never recorded.

Rounding out the track list on Dolenz Sings Nesmith - The E.P. are some of Michael's most celebrated songs, two of which were originally recorded during the Monkees era and later featured on Michael's RCA solo albums ("The Crippled Lion" and "Some of Shelly's Blues"), and "Grand Ennui," the opening track from Nevada Fighter, the third and final album released by Nez and The First National Band.

​​In late November, voting commenced for the 16th Annual "Coolest Song of the Year" listener poll courtesy of the Sirius XM channel, Little Steven's Underground Garage. Micky Dolenz was nominated for his version of the Monkees classic, the Michael Nesmith-penned "Circle Sky," as heard in a brand new arrangement on Micky's 2021 solo album, Dolenz sings Nesmith.

A few hours ago, Micky shared the news on Facebook that "Circle Sky" has taken top honors in the poll:
Happy New Year!
I want to thank everyone for making Circle Sky from Dolenz Sings Nesmith the Coolest Song in the World for 2021.
Needless to say, that this comes at a bittersweet time is an understatement. But I know that wherever he is, he is thrilled to see his work being acknowledged.
I look forward to continuing the legacy of my band mates the best way I know how, by keeping the music alive.
Also, major kudos to Christian Nesmith for his vision and reimagination of these wonderful songs and thanks to 7A Records for making the project happen.
Let’s look forward to a safe and sound 2022 and I hope to see you all soon.
#LittleSteviesUndergroundGarage #UndergroundGarage #StevenVanZandt

​Rounding out the top 10 of the "Coolest Song of the Year" poll results were the following songs and artists:
#10: "You’re So Good To Me" (Grip Weeds)
#9: "Sway Little Player" (Shang Hi Los)
#8: "Atomic Love” (Prima Donna)
#7: "Save Me" (Stupidity)
#6: "Do The Resurrection!" (Gentlemen Rogues)
#5: "Out For Blood" (Jennie Vee)
#4: "Run Baby Run" (Southern Culture On The Skids)
#3: "Shattered" (Marc Ribler)

Thank you for supporting The Monkees Live Almanac for another year. The loss of Michael Nesmith earlier this month was sorrowful, but it's especially heartening to know that he was able to bid a fond farewell during his performances with Micky Dolenz this fall.  Listen to the band, indeed.

In tribute to Nez and in the spirit of the season, here's Michael's rendition of "Snowfall," the 1941 composition by Claude Thornhill and Ruth Thornhill, which has been recorded by a variety of performers over time. Nez's version, featuring his son Jonathan, was included on The Monkees' holiday album, Christmas Party.
