October 21st at the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay!

Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Brewer and Shipley and The Driftbenders???

The Driftbenders are Joey Molland of Badfinger and Phil Solem of The Rembrandts (remember the Friends Theme "I'll Be There For You? CLICK HERE TO HEAR IT)

In our conversation Joey talks about how the band got it's name and his time with Badfinger!

From Wikipedia: Joey joined the group in 1969. Signed by The Beatles' Apple label in 1968 as The Iveys, they adopted the name Badfinger in 1969. Although initially drawing Beatle comparisons because of some musical resemblances and individual Beatles' mentorship, Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits in 1970 and 1971: "Come and Get It" (written and produced by Paul McCartney), "No Matter What", "Day After Day", and "Baby Blue".
