Great Escape: The Monkees
Hey, hey, it’s the Monkees, and what better way to celebrate your Sunday night then by listening to their music live while they perform at Wolf Trap this weekend.
As a little girl I remember watching The Monkees on TV, which featured band members Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz. Together, they cast as a rock band that went on zany adventures week to week.
The show originally aired from 1966 to 1968 and became popular again the early 1980s, which led to a series of reunion tours and new records featuring various incarnations of the band’s lineup. The group went on to sell 50 million records worldwide.
