Myles Francis Goodwyn (born Miles Francis Goodwin; June 23, 1948 – December 3, 2023) was a Canadian musician. He was the lead vocalist, guitarist, and principal songwriter of April Wine. He released 16 studio albums with April Wine, and two albums as a solo artist. He received the National Achievement Award at the 2002 SOCAN Awards, and an ECMA Lifetime Achievement Award.

Early life

Goodwyn was born on June 23, 1948, in Woodstock, New Brunswick.[1][2]

Career

Goodwyn helped form April Wine in 1969, with David Henman (guitar), Ritchie Henman (drums), and Jim Henman (bass). He led the group from its inception and garage band roots to its multiplatinum sales peak.[3][4] He performed on every April Wine release.[citation needed]

Following the band's peak and commercial success during the 1970s and early '80s, Goodwyn disbanded April Wine and pursued a solo career. After a brief relocation to the Bahamas, he returned to Canada and reformed April Wine in 1992.

In 2002, Goodwyn won the National Achievement Award at the annual SOCAN Awards held in Toronto.[5] In January 2003, he received an ECMA Lifetime Achievement Award for his impact on the music industry of Atlantic Canada.[6][7][8]

In March 2008 (2008-03), Goodwyn stated in an interview that he had been in the studio recording his second album Myles Goodwyn & Friends of the Blues. It was to be an all-blues album featuring guest performers such as Amos Garrett, David Wilcox, Frank Marino, Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne and Rick Derringer.[9][10]

In 2016, his autobiography, Just Between You and Me, was released. In 2018, his second album Myles Goodwyn and Friends of the Blues was released.[citation needed]

On December 20, 2022, Goodwyn retired from touring with April Wine due to his diabetes and poor health. His final live performance with April Wine was on March 2, 2023, in Nova Scotia.[11][12][13]

Goodwyn died on December 3, 2023, at the age of 75.[14]
