On June 23, 2022 Myles Goodwyn released his fourth solo album "Long Pants" which among others includes collaboration with April Wine co-founder Jim Henman. The album is probably the most personal effort in his career as a songwriter. Many of the songs on the album deals with aspects of his personal life, while other songs addresses injustices to the indigenous people of North America.
Myles Goodwyn was born on June 23, 1948, in Woodstock, New Brunswick and he grew up in Waverley, Nova Scotia. Goodwyn helped form April Wine in Waverley, Nova Scotia in 1969, with David Henman (guitar), Ritchie Henman (drums), and Jim Henman (bass). They realized that Halifax did not provide opportunities to play and record, so they sent a demo tape to Aquarius Records in Montreal. Aquarius managers Terry Flood and Donald K. Tarlton returned a rejection letter but the band mistook it for an invitation. On April 1, 1970, April Wine went to Montreal, bringing with them their instruments and $100 in cash; Flood and Tarlton were persuaded to sign the band to a contract.
Later in his life Myle Goodwyn returned to live the Halifax area
Since 1973 Myles Goodwyn was the only founding member left in April Wine. On December 20, 2022, Goodwyn retired from touring with April Wine due to his diabetes and poor health, turning over his vocal and guitar duties to Marc Parent. He continued to be involved with the group, helping manage the band and write material for a new album. He gave his final live performance with April Wine on March 2, 2023, in Truro, Nova Scotia. Myles Goodwyn said that he was tired of travelling in airports and living out of a suitcase, "The lifestyle is not healthy for me anymore," he said. He died at age 75 on December 3, 2023, in Halifax.
Myles Goodwyn has released 16 albums with April Wine and 4 albums as a solo artist.
