You can’t use the term “Classic Rock” in Canada without the mention of April Wine.
A staple of Canadian classic rock, April Wine was one of the most popular and commercially successful Canadian rock bands of the 1970s and early 1980s. They had 5 platinum or multi-platinum albums in Canada, 21 Top 40 singles, and received 10 Juno Award nominations, including 7 for group of the year between 1975 and 1983. Their radio-friendly arena rock sound was characterized by strong melodies, catchy, muscular guitar riffs, and sentimental pop ballads. They have been inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame.
They are part of the stellar lineup supporting Randy Bachman and B.T.O at the Grey Eagle and in Lethbridge as well as Grand Prairie along with the Headpins.
