Joey Molland of Badfinger is a big David Peel fan! They shared a record label that was owned by the Beatles called Apple 🍏 (not to be confused with the tech company of the same name.) Here he is with our co-producer Eliot Wein of The David Peel Birthday Bash happening this Sunday August 4 at the Parkside Lounge (doors at 6:30pm.) Even though he won't be there, having his own gig the same day, Joey has a message for you: "Come to the David Peel Birthday Bash. You're going to have a blast!"

Thank you, Joey

Who was David Peel? Produced by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Peel is probably the best known street musician in the entire world. Playing the streets of New York City, he was discovered twice and you can even say a third time when he became a regular on the Howard Stern Show as a frequent guest, muse and the composer of Howard's theme song "Howard Stern for Governor". David had an amazing career up until after he met with John Lennon who egged him on to make the album The Pope Smokes Dope which got him banned from radio stations all over the world. So David continued for years as New York's most famous street musician. His underground record label launched many great underground artist such as GG Allin and others.
