April Wine is a Canadian rock band formed in 1969. According to the band, they chose the name 'April Wine' simply because members thought the two words sounded good together. The band went on to release more than twenty albums and forge a live performance reputation that still sees them drawing devoted crowds across Canada and around the world thirty-nine years after taking their first steps into the hard rock spotlight.

In the Halifax, Nova Scotia suburb of
Waverly, Goodwyn was playing in a group called Woody's Termites. His
next door neighbor, Jimmy Henman convinced him to join a group composed
of himself and his cousins, Ritchie and David Henman. Jimmy and Goodwyn
had previously played together in several bands including East Gate
Sanctuary while David and Ritchie played in the Lower Sackville group,
Prism (not to be confused with the famous Vancouver group of the same
name). The name April Wine was coined by David for no apparent reason.
During the recording of the second album 'On Record', big changes were
developing as vocalist/bassist Jim Henman suddenly returned to college,
leaving Goodwyn to lead the band both musically and vocally. Jim Clench
was brought in to fill Henman's shoes on bass. Goodwyn and Clench soon
became allies for a shift in musical direction and internal struggles
with the Henmans led to the brothers leaving the act to form
Montreal-based band Silver and, later, The Dudes with Bob Segarini.
Veteran Mashmakhan drummer Jerry Mercer was added after a stint with Roy
Buchanan and guitarist Gary Moffet came from Pops Merrily. Typical
