Joey Molland, the last surviving member of the rock band Badfinger, will perform on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall by invitation of the Music Business program. During a talk starting at 6:15 p.m. in G-24 McEwen Hall, he will discuss his career and, in particular, his harsh experiences with recording labels and the business side of the industry.
