Who We Are
Dave Burden, Guitar & Vocals
Dave’s parents bought him an accordion when he was 10 years old. In junior high, he realized that the accordion was not “a chick magnet”. After many petitions to his parents, they relented and bought him a guitar. He’s not sure it made the least bit of difference with the girls…
but “Hey it was worth a shot."
Dave’s first professional gig was in 1973. He has played with many talented musicians during his musical journey. The journey continues to this day with Arizona’s Canyon Band.
