Joseph ("Joey") Charles Molland (born June 21, 1947, Edge Hill, Liverpool, England) is a composer and rock guitarist whose recording career spans four decades. He is best known as a member of Badfinger, the most successful of the acts. Molland auditioned for the band Badfinger in November 1969 and was subsequently hired. Badfinger were a conspicuous Apple Records recording group at the time (a label launched by The Beatles). The band enjoyed an early string of successful singles and albums for the next couple of years (see Badfinger article for recording information). During Molland`s association with Apple, he made guest appearances on two George Harrison albums, All Things Must Pass and The Concert For Bangla Desh, and the John Lennon album Imagine. Molland left Badfinger in late 1974 due to disagreements over management. In 1975, he joined with Jerry Shirley (formerly of Humble Pie) and formed a group called Natural Gas. The band released the LP Natural Gas on Private Stock Records in 1976, and enjoyed a successful tour with Peter Frampton the following year. According to Molland, a general lack of organization led to the band`s demise late in 1977. Molland and former Badfinger band mate Tom Evans recorded two albums under the Badfinger name, Airwaves in 1978, and Say No More in 1981. Molland and Evans split acrimoniously after Say No More and the two performed in rival touring Badfinger bands until Evans` death in 1983. Most of Molland`s career since 1983 has been with various groups performing tours under the Badfinger name, or as "Joey Molland`s Badfinger." Earlier versions of these groups sometimes included original Badfinger drummer Mike Gibbins. Molland now lives in Minnesota and continues to tour with the Badfinger name. Molland was married to Kathie Molland from 1972 until her death on 23 March 2009. She and Molland have two sons named Joseph and Shaun.
