| Introduction | Mid Life has evolved from casual garage group to popular dance band that has bookings two years in advance. After seeing a variety of participants pass through, Gilbert Castillo joined John Ankiewicz, Khang Nguyen & Don Warren in 2001. True to its roots, the band used Khang’s garage as a base of operations. The band credits Joanne Castillo with naming the group – when asked what we did on Thursday nights (“we get together in Khang’s garage, play some songs and sing”) – her response was “Sounds like a bunch of guys going through a mid-life crisis.” Our musical selection has evolved greatly over the last five years. Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan & the Eagles were part of the mix in ’01 – the current set lists run the gamut from Buddy Holly to Jimmy Eat World. We pride ourselves for being a vocal dance band; we cover rock, country (traditional & modern), Tejano & even disco. Our musical selection has one criteria: if the audience doesn’t dance, we drop the song. We strive to interact and include our audience as much as possible – we always enjoy being a part of someone’s party evening and we think it shows. |
