Just Announced:
Peter Tork of the Monkees to Perform at

NAGC Communications School

Peter Tork will speak and perform at the National Association of Government Communicators 2012 Communications School, Thursday, June 7, at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington, VA.

Long before he became part of the legendary 1960s phenomenon known as the The Monkees, Peter was already a well-respected musical artist in the burgeoning New York folk and blues scene. The Monkees brought international fame to the multi-talented musician, and the success of last year’s 45th Anniversary reunion tour with former Monkee mates Micky Dolenz and the late Davy Jones is evident of his enduring popularity. His real passion, however, is for the musical story telling of the blues and Peter can currently be seen touring with his band, Shoe Suede Blues. In a rare solo performance, Peter will share his love of folk and blues music and talk about its importance in the American culture to tell the stories of our people.

Register now to attend the NAGC 2012 Communication School – “Government Communicators - Telling America's Stories" – June 5-8, 2012. Peter’s performance will be part of the NAGC President’s Reception on June 7. For more details and the rest of the exciting agenda, including Astronaut Michael Foreman, memory expert Paul Mellor, Communicator of the Year Judy Gish, ace speechwriter Joan Detz, media panels, and much more, visit the Communications School section of our website. Professional development at its best!
