Glen Burtnik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glen Burtnik is a singer, songwriter, entertainer and multi-instrumentalist, best known as a former member of Styx.

The spelling of his name has changed a few times over the years (born Glenn Burtnick, then changed to Glen Burtnick, and finally spelled with "two N's, no C").

He has written chart-topping hits such as "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough", "Spirit Of A Boy, Wisdom Of A Man", and "Delicious Surprise", hosted the "School Of Rock" radio show on The Hawk - 105.7 FM, and recorded/toured/collaborated with well-known artists. He has also put together the annual Glen Burtnik's Xmas Xtravaganza for 16 years (as of 2006).

Glen and his family were featured on the October 16, 2006 season premier episode of the Discovery Channel Show It Takes a Thief.

Since 2006, Burtnik has made appearances with ex-Styx bandmate Dennis DeYoung
