Michael Nesmith to visit the Buskirk-Chumley

Michael Nesmith, a former band member of the Monkees, will perform at 8 p.m. Friday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

The event, “An Evening with Michael Nesmith,” is sponsored by Indianapolis-based concert promoter MOKB Presents.

Though Nesmith originally found fame in the 1960s as one of the four founding members of the Monkees, he has remained popular through his extensive solo work.

Over the years, he has released more than 15 solo albums, his most recent being “Rays,” which he released in 2006.

Along with performing, Nesmith has also dabbled in writing, producing and acting.

In 1980, he even helped launch the television channel MTV.

Tickets for the event can be purchased online, by phone or in person at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater Box Office.

Prices for tickets range from $40 for upper balcony to $65 for pit.
