Myles Francis Goodwyn (born June 23, 1948 in Woodstock, New Brunswick) [1][2] is a record producer,[1] guitarist,[1] lead vocalist,[1] main songwriter, founding member of the veteran Canadian hard rock band April Wine[2] and father of the electronic artist Aaron Goodwyn. As the longest serving (and only original) member,[2][3][4] Goodwyn has led the band from its modest garage band roots to multi-platinum sales.[3][4]
Following the band's peak years during the 1970s and early 1980s, Goodwyn disbanded the group to pursue a solo career. After a brief relocation to the Bahamas, Goodwyn returned to Canada and reformed April Wine in 1992. He continues to lead the band to the present day.[2]
In January 2003 Myles Goodwyn received an ECMA Lifetime Achievement Award for his impact on the music industry of Atlantic Canada.[5][6][7][8]
In March 2008, Goodwyn stated in an interview that he has been back in the studio recording his second solo effort Myles Goodwyn & Friends of the Blues. This will be an all-blues album featuring a slew of guest performers such as Amos Garrett, David Wilcox, Frank Marino, Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne, and Rick Derringer (to name a few).[9][10]
