Jim Henman celebrates his "Songs and Stories - 55 Years of Songwriting" show at Great Village Arts, accompanied by a visual journey through those 55 years.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.
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.
2009 Jim, as a co-founder of April Wine, was installed along with April Wine into the Canadian Music Industry Hall Of Fame and in April 2010, Jim had the great honour of receiving a Juno award, commemorating April Wine’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Recording solo works such as "Same Old Feeling" and "House Plants" has kept Jim busy touring throughout the Maritimes as a solo performer.
In spring of 2017 Jim was asked to join his old band mate, Myles Goodwyn, sole remaining original member and now the driving force behind April Wine’s success, in touring an acoustic show ” Just Between You And Me”.
Jim and Myles have co-written and shared lead vocals on one of Myles releases “Some Of These Children (They Never Grew Up)”. The song is their response to the finding of unmarked graves at some of the Residential Schools for Indigenous children sites. They also co-wrote a Christmas tune “Ring The Bells” which Myles released in 2021. Jim was installed into the Canadian Walk Of Fame in Sept 2023 along with all present and past members who had “performed and recorded” with April Wine.
Jim has also co-wrote with Laura Smith, Terry Kelly, Dee Dee Austin, Tom Bedell, Lisa Richard, Joel Plaskett and more.
