It will be a flashback Friday next week in downtown Livermore as the Bankhead Theater welcomes Micky Dolenz, the last surviving member of The Monkees — best known for their hit songs in the 1960s, such as “I’m a Believer”, “Daydream Believer” and “Last Train to Clarksville”, as well as their classic TV show.
A singer, actor and producer, Dolenz is an “unmistakable performer that moved a generation and led this pop culture phenomenon to a dozen Top 20 singles, four No. 1 albums and two Emmy Awards,” Livermore Valley Arts officials said.
Dolenz told the Weekly, “The show will include all the Monkee hits; how can you not enjoy singing them? With writers like Carole King; Nilsson, Boyce & Harrt, Paul Williams and Neil Diamond, those are the ones you have to do.”
“I feel an obligation to carry this great music onward,” he added. “We’ve got a few surprises too for the show; some new songs.”
Dolenz is playing at the Bankhead next Friday (Oct. 21) at 8 p.m. Visit livermorearts.org.
