Glen Burtnick
After working with Helmet Boy, Jan Hammer and Neil Schon, Glen Burtnick (b. USA; vocals/guitar/keyboards) declined the offer to join Bon Jovi in favour of working on a solo career. Securing a deal with A&M Records, he employed session musicians to help record his debut, TALKING IN CODE. A sophisticated and highly-polished selection of pop-rock anthems, the album was infused with elements of funk and soul. On HEROES AND ZEROES, Bruce Hornsby, Anton Fig and Neil Schon made guest appearances, but the songs covered mainly the same ground as before. In 1990 he joined Styx in place of Tommy Shaw, to record their comeback album, EDGE OF THE CENTURY.
