About Us
|
Michael - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar |
|
I started playing guitar back in Jr. High School, but my true love has always been singing. I really started playing guitar as a way to learn cool rock songs so I could sing them while I learned. Well, 30 plus years and a wife and four kids later I decided to start up a rock band with some of my friends so I could live out some of my rock star dreams. Turns out that these guys I rock with turned out to be pretty cool, and playing rock and roll is way more fun when you can appreciate the talent you play with! MidLife Crisis fits me perfectly… literally. |
Z-Man - Vocals, Keys, Harmonica & Cowbell, Baby! |
|
Got my nick name Z Man in High School. Played saxophone, along with being a 3 sport All American player. The sports have given me great thrills in my life buy nowhere near the fun I am having Rockin' with the boys of Mid Life Crisis. I am old enough to remember watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and also old enough to have arthritis in spots I never knew existed. As the elder statesman of this motley crew, I am grumpy almost all the time but play a mean harmonica, tamborene, key board, and I am incredibly talented on cow bell. My name is Mike Zazon but you can call me Z Man. |
Larry - Guitar |

Being raised in a musical family, I was expected to learn how to play some kind of instrument. I was pushed in to learning keyboards, because it was seen as the most "versatile". After being subjected to years of Polkas and Waltzes in the ethnic-laden city of Youngstown, Ohio...it seemed fine for a while. Then one day a classmate handed me a copy of the Guns 'N' Roses album. Since then, only a six-string electric guitar would be good enough. Turn everything up and blast out the windows!
But life comes at you fast, and jamming with other musicians never lasted long. My amplifiers had been just about tucked away, until I met the guys from MidLife Crisis. We're all on the same page...ready to rock...and deliver good times and good tunes. And after 20 years of playing, I've learned that there's more than one way to Roll Out the Barrel!! |
Andy - Guitar |
|
I started playing guitar at 11 years old with a school friend and we grew up trying to better each other. That just made us both better. Nothing like a little friendly competition, eh? Anyway, I'm the youngest in band and one of the founding members. Never would I have imagined that this is where I would have ended up after being on stage with the greats. Vai, Satriani, Beach, Bettencourt and many others. Yes, I've played with them all... In my head... |
Shane - Bass, Vocals |
|
I’m not quite old enough to actually remember the Summer of ’69 but we had a band and we tried real hard, Jimmy quit and “I” got married, so I should have known we’d never get far. That was 1984. After a 25-year Rock-n-Roll-band hiatus I have returned to the scene to once again lay down some thunderous bass lines. With the support of my family I am now living the dream and having a blast with my new friends from MLC. Come out and see us sometime. We’re a good-time waiting to happen! |
Dan - Drums |

I was living a quiet, comfortable life with my wife and 11 year old son when a phone call turned our life up-side-down, in a GREAT way! I didn’t know it at the time, but a Mid-Life Crisis was exactly what I was looking for. As the drummer and newest member of the band, I am ecstatic that I took that phone call and re-kindled my old trade after not playing for too many years. The music, the dudes, the camaraderie and the lifestyle have me working those old 80’s Rock drum licks again, like I am back in my parents basement on that old TAMA Imperialstar kit. My Uncle Steve would be so proud. |
