June 07, 2025Juno Award winner, Jim Henman in Concert - Walk of Fame inductee, April Wine co-founder shares his stories & songs
Jim Henman www.JimHenman.com shares songs & stories in a live concert recorded in Musquodoboit, NS.
Co-founder of April Wine
installed into the Canadian Music Industry Hall Of Fame, along with April Wine
Juno award, commemorating April Wine’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Writing his first tune, at age 12, Jim spent much of his youth strumming a Stella acoustic guitar on the sandy shores of Clam Harbour, Nova Scotia. Jim wrote his first song on this Stella. Jim, with high school friends Myles Goodwyn, Greg Stephen, Dave Dodsworth & Doug Grace started the top 40 band, “Woodies Termites”. Jim and Myles went on to co-found the Canadian rock band, April Wine, in the fall of 1969 with Jim’s cousins, David and Ritchie Henman. Shortly after the release of their debut album in 1971, Jim decided to leave the band, moving back to the East Coast to start a family and pursue a career in Medical Technology.
Jim officially re-emerged onto the East Coast music scene in the 90s, co-writing and co-producing the album,” More Than My Share” for Cape Breton singer, Jeannie Beks. He also co-wrote the music for “Death the Musical”, a stage production performed both at Halifax’s Neptune Theatre and in French, at Théâtre Génération in Montréal. This musical score was later released on CD and you can hear it at https://open.spotify.com/album/393fHJBKi7G7O5IUlYjU68
In keeping a promise to his late friend, Canadian blues artist, Rick Jeffery, Jim completed and produced Rick’s final album, 13 Vultures in 2009.

Jim is accompanied by keyboardist Robert Campbell for this concert. www.RCampbell.com
