Glen Burtnick

Glen Burtnick (originally Glenn Burtnick) is a rock singer / songwriter from New Jersey whose career spans the late 70s on to the present. In the mid 90s he changed his last name to Burtnik, dropping the "c." Tracks listed under "Burtnick" are most likely from his earlier career, while "Burtnik" signifies newer stuff.

Glen's is not a household name, but his impact on the music world is considerable. He co-wrote the number one hit "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" with Patty Smyth, and also wrote "Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man," a number one country hit performed by Randy Travis.

Glen might also be recognized through his work in advertising. As one example, his song "The Man Inside" was used in the UK Phillishave advert back in the 90s.

Many fans outside of the New Jersey area discovered Glen through his two short stints with the rock band Styx. He first joined the band in the early 90s as a replacement for singer / guitarist Tommy Shaw, and later returned in the late 90s / early 2000s as a replacement for bassist Chuck Panozzo.

Glen has now returned to a solo career but remains active in the music world. Along with teaching music and performing solo shows, he is also an occasional member of a Beatles tribute band or two.

‘Music City 411- Robin Gibb Tribute

By: Andrew Vaughan

It’s truly heartbreaking to see the pain Robin Gibb’s family is going through right now. The Bee Gees singer is in a coma after suffering with liver cancer and most recently pneumonia. Of course, several big name pop acts have passed away recently- Davy Jones of The Monkees probably the most recent. Now I knew Davy to talk to but I’d never met his family. Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
