Timeline
Came up for the Draft in the early 1960s, but was excused after appearing before his local Draft board.
When Stephen Stills was turned down by The Monkees (1966) producers because his teeth were crooked and his hair was falling out, he recommended a local folk musician who looked like him named Peter Tork.
Performed as a folk musician in Greenwich Village and Los Angeles before being selected for the Monkees TV show. Made 58 TV episodes 6 albums, a TV special, and a movie before leaving the Monkees in 1969 Released a solo single in 1982.
Peter has a daughter named Hallie Elizabeth (b. 25 January 1970) with Reine Stewart) and a son named Ivan Joseph (b. 22 December 1975) with Barbara Iannoli) and a daughter named Erica Marie (b. 15 June 1997) with Tammy Sustek.
The most accomplished musician of The Monkees, Tork plays 12 different instruments; his choice "depends on what kind of music I'm playing." While producers Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart admired Tork's playing, he was almost never given lead vocals on the Monkees' records. Box-set and CD bonus tracks from the 1980s and 1990s included several rarely-heard Tork songs and vocals.
Rejoined the Monkees for tours and an from 1986 to 1989.
While with The Monkees, Tork was involved in the group's most famous musical outtake, "Lady's Baby," a song released in 1995 as a bonus track on the reissue of the group's fifth LP, and inspired by Karen Harvey Hammer, the wife of his business partner Bob Hammer. The Hammers had an infant son, Justin. Peter insisted on getting the cooing of little Justin recorded for use on "Lady's Baby," which required following the baby around the studio with a microphone. Peter's use of baby cooing on a pop album predated by some 30 years the practice later incorporated by country beauties Martina McBride and Sara Evans, who used the cooing of their own children on some of their songs.
He has been touring small venues with musician/singer James Lee Stanley since early 1996.
Resigned from the Monkees' 2001 tour at the end of August, tired of squabbling with his bandmates, but rejoined them for later tours.
Played with his band Shoe Suede Blues, and Two Man Band, joined by the group Aura3 in 2004. Both acts toured all over the US.
Guest appearances with Jeff Pitchell & The Texas Flood, touring with Shoe Suede Blues, joined by Aura3 on dates beginning August 2005.
Peter Tork and Shoe Suede Blues released their second CD, Cambria Hotel, in February of 2007.
