Biography
Stef Burns was born in Oakland, California, and grew up in Walnut Creek,
CA, where he attended Northgate High School. He started playing his Dad’s
guitar around age 6. At 7 he got his first electric guitar which was a
Winston. He upgraded to a Fender Mustang soon after.
He had his first band when he was 9 years of age called “The Yellow Brick Road”.
They played songs like “Wild Thing” and “Louie Louie” and weren’t bad
for a bunch of fourth graders.
In high school, he had a band called “Legend” and by then was playing
a Gibson L6-S. They played Allman Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Montrose, Led
Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Marshall Tucker Band and other 70’s stuff. The
keyboard player was Dave Mathews who later went on to play with Tower
of Power, Boz Skaggs and Etta James.
The next band was great. They called it “New Legend” and started to
get into Jazz/Rock fusion, writing their own songs and covering tunes
by Jeff Beck, Return to Forever, George Duke, Herbie Hancock and other
70’s Fusion stuff. The keyboard player in this group was John Seppala
who now co-writes and plays with Stef on most of his new album,”Swamp tea”.
They used to blow people’s minds because they were so young and were
playing all this intricate material.
The first real club band was Omega. It was 1979. Stef was now playing a
Les Paul Standard. This was a band formed by ex-Elvin Bishop band members
Bill And Reni Slais, and Mickey Thomas who later had many hits with Starship.
Omega was a large funk band, with horns like Tower of Power, very funky and worked a lot.
