About Mid Life Crisis the Band

History: The MidLife Crisis band began in 1992 in Las Vegas Nevada. Rick worked with Tom and they played with some other guys, but decided to go out on their own. Rick knew Bobby and Tom knew Andy. In 1999, they all got together and after a couple of practices, it became obvious that there was plenty of reasons to stay together and play together. Everybody liked each other and shared similar personal values and similar tastes in music. In 2018, original bass player Bobby got married and moved to Arizona and Jan joined us as our new bass player in 2019.
Repertoire: MidLife Crisis’ repertoire has been developed to please almost every type of audience and every musical taste and includes rock, country, alternative, pop and oldies.
Venues: MidLife Crisis has played for elementary schools and biker dudes, baby boomers and Gen Xers, teenagers and seniors. They’ve played for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, church activities, lounges, dances, parties and many charity events throughout Southern Nevada and Southern Utah.
Most bookings come through word of mouth as people listen to the music and like what they hear.

Whether you want to dance or just listen, MidLife Crisis Las Vegas promises a great time!
