Monkees’ Davy Jones, Herman’s Hermits Starring Peter Noone Featured on Final Weekends of 2011 Flower Power Concert Series

They both came to America from Manchester, England, and both landed at the top of the pop music charts in the mid-1960s. “They” are Davy Jones and Peter Noone, who will bring the hit-making sounds of The Monkees and Herman’s Hermits, respectively, to Epcot in May as the final two acts of the 2011 Flower Power Concert Series:

• Davy Jones, who’ll take the America Gardens Theatre stage May 6-8, traveled from the television screen — along with other The Monkees cast members — to the top of the charts in 1966 aboard “Last Train to Clarksville.” They scored two more No. 1’s over the following 14 months, “I’m a Believer” and “Daydream Believer.”
• Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, who’ll bring down the curtain on this year’s series (May 13-15), scored 11 Top 10 tunes over a 25-month period from early 1965 to early 1967. Included were two No. 1’s in 1965, “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” and “I’m Henry VIII, I Am.”

May begins with the final day of Paul Revere & The Raiders’ weekend at Epcot.

Performances are at America Gardens Theatre at 5:15, 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. each Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the 18th annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Here’s the May lineup (subject to change without notice):

May 1: Paul Revere & The Raiders
May 6-8: Davy Jones
May 13-15: Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone
