Dave Burner was born on February 7, 1961
and grew up in the small town of Deshler, Ohio. Somewhere around
the age of 6 or 7 he decided that he wanted to be a musician when he
grew up and the instrument of choice was the drums. He began
drum lessons in the 5th grade and enjoyed playing along to
his Bachman Turner Overdrive albums and also to his parents’ Marv
Herzog albums. Around the age of 14 he started playing a few
songs with the Marv Herzog band when Marv’s band came to the Ohio
area. At the age of 16, Dave’s music career started when he
joined his first band. From there several years later at the age
of 21, he went on to join the Marv Herzog band full time traveling the
country and abroad. For about 13 of the next 20 years, Dave
would be working with Marv and his band.
Dave also had the opportunity to play music and travel with the Polka
Nuts band from Brighton, CO, the Walt Groller orchestra from
Whitehall, PA and the Dave Slivinski band from Frankenmuth, MI.
For the past 5 years, he has been working with Ted Lange when they
were the Bratwurst Boys and now with Squeezebox. Through the
years of playing music, Dave also had the privilege of recording
numerous albums/discs with Marv Herzog, the Polka Nuts, Dave Slivinski
and Squeezebox.
Other areas of musical interest include playing bass guitar and drums
with the praise band at his church. Dave’s wife and children are
also very musically inclined and they have their own family praise
band that occasionally plays at churches in the Toledo, OH area.
Dave has lived in Toledo for the past 19 years with his wife Lynette.
They have 3 children; Jessica – 18, Nicholas – 15 and Keegan – 11.
Dave works as a Computer Systems Administrator for a medical device
testing laboratory in Northwood, OH. His hobbies include
vacationing with his family, recording music at home with the family
band, watching movies and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
