Great musician, song writer, super vocals and solid drummer!

Lennie is a music man! His drumming is in the pocket and his vocals are stellar! A nicer guy there never was, so easy to work with and he knows what he wants. (as close to perfect as you can get) Quite the song writer as well, you can find some of his gems on vinyl. http://www.musicstack.com/item/49081624
am proud to have played and recorded with this music smart professional, Lennie Gale!

What to expect

A client will see our band "Mid Life Crisis" with top notch professional equipment properly set-up with all cases packed away for a clean, safe stage environment. We dress according to the function.
"Mid Life Crisis" is a versatile band offering easy listening acoustic guitar music with beautiful 3 -part harmonies such as "Eagles" tunes and "Crosby, Stills and Nash" music. We also perform as a dance band with full electric instruments and powerful 3-part harmonies with 3 lead vocalists. We always get the audience up and dancing with our mix of classic rock songs, a little country thrown in and always try our best to honor requests! We also invite anyone who wants to sing a song up on stage with us to join on in. We love "Guest artists" as everyone enjoys seeing a friend or fellow employee jump on stage and sing.... live karaoke!

About

Lennie Gale: Recording artist and live performer on drums, keyboards and lead vocals since 1970. My brother Kenny and I started our first band in 1966 singing 3 part Beatles harmonies and we're still doing it today! We recorded several singles and (2) albums on Fantasy Records called "Gale Force' and "Gale Force II". The albums are available for listening or purchasing tracks online. Since 1980 both Kenny and I have been performing together in professional bands managed and booked by Kurt Hunter, a top L.A. booking agent along with private gigs from excited audiences that hire us for their private parties. We always get everyone up dancing and receive incredible responses such as "You guys are great", "you sound just like the record" and "I've never heard such incredible harmonies!" WE HAVE ONE GOAL-- TO ENTERTAIN OUR AUDIENCE!
Kenny Gale: Phenomenal versatile lead guitarist playing acoustic, lead electric guitar, slide guitar and lap steel guitar since 1966. Recorded with brother Lennie on all records released from (phone number hidden)8.
Ken Bash: Bass player extraordinaire and lead vocalist as well. 50+ years of experience performing with a Beatles Tribute Band and several other bands over the years. Ken went to school with Glenn Frey of the "Eagles" and guess what? He sings just like Glenn and reaches out to the audience with his wonderful personality and stage presence.

Additional booking notes

"Mid Life Crisis" provides a full P.A. system along with our drums, guitars and amps. We do not currently carry lighting as it is rarely needed. Lighting can always be provided by rental service with prior notice.
We can fit into a relatively small area if necessary as we are performing usually as a 3 piece group.
