Former Monkee Michael Nesmith said Monday his upcoming spring tour, first revealed a week ago, will cover 17 cities in 14 states.
The tour dates and cities he announced are March 21, Nashville, TN; March 24, Los Angeles; March 26, Santa Cruz, CA; March 27, San Francisco; March 29, Portland, Ore.; March 30, Seattle, Wash.; April 3, Boulder, Colo.; April 5, Minneapolis, Minn.; April 6, Chicago; April 7, Detroit; April 9, Munhall, Pa.; April 11, Northampton, MA.; April 12, Rahway, N.J.; April 13, Boston, MA.; April 15, Philadelphia; April 16, New York City and April 17, Alexandria VA.
He said the band will feature Joe Chemay on bass, Paul Leim on drums and Boh Cooper on keyboards.
“This is the tour to break in the show, see if you like it, earn the promoters confidence, and see if anybody comes,” he said whimsically in typical Nesmith fashion on his Facebook page. “If it goes well we will keep going later in the summer/fall and hit the states we missed on this half-lap of the U.S.
“If it goes poorly we will stare blankly into the future and post pictures of cute animals and food.”
Nesmith said he would announce venues and ticket information possibly as soon as later today or tomorrow.
