Micky Dolenz

Dolenz is an actor, singer, director, producer, writer, radio DJ, inventor, and all-around performer extraordinaire, and stands tall as a paragon of taste and accomplishment in the rough-and-tumble world of show business and entertainment. Dolenz is best known as a vocalist and drummer of the 1960s pop legends The Monkees. The Monkees not only achieved great success as a TV show, but also as recording artists selling in excess of 65 million units and achieving worldwide success. Their first four albums – “The Monkees” (1966), “More of the Monkees” (1967), “Headquarters” (1967), and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones, LTD. (1967) – all reached the number-one position on the charts and launched three number-one singles: “Last Train to Clarksville,” “I'm a Believer” (both with lead vocals by Dolenz), and “Daydream Believer.” The group's first five albums also went platinum.

Dolenz has also released several critically acclaimed solo albums: “King for a Day,” “Remember,” and “A Little Bit Broadway, A Little Bit Rock and Roll.” The Monkees also re-grouped for a 50th anniversary album in 2016 entitled “Good Times” on Rhino.

He toured in 2019 as part of the “It Was Fifty Years Ago Today,” a celebration of The Beatles’ “White Album,” with Christopher Cross, Todd Rundgren, and Joey Molland of Badfinger. In March 2019, he released the award-winning “Dolenz Sings Nesmith” on England’s 7a Records.

Dolenz has also toured extensively on his own and just last year fronted “Micky Dolenz Celebrates The Monkees,” which was a sell-out at every stop. In addition, he performed at the annual James Burton event, this time in England, which also featured Ron Wood; Brian May and Van Morrison.

In November 2023, Dolenz released the EP “Dolenz Sings R.E.M.” (7a Records) featuring four songs from R.E.M. Later that year, he released the book “I’m Told I Had A Good Time: The Micky Dolenz Archives – Volume 1.”
