So my band got to open for April Wine

Sign in to disble this ad
and I was nervous as hell. The show went really well. The first opener was a 2 piece acoustic act, then us, and finally April Wine.

The drummer for April Wine is like 68 years old and is amazing. I couldn't belive how loud he played. The whole band sounded good. I went out front and it was a little loud for my taste.

The only thing I didn't like is that the sound man wouldn't let me play my stack but he's a good guy so it's all good.

Now that I got a small taste of this rock star stuff I want more!

Is April Wine playing in an auditorium or what? Cool looking show though. I remember them playing the big houses when I was "alot" younger.

Just between you and me....

Didn't know they were still around. I loved that album when I was about 7 or 8. Never heard from them again though.

April Wine never stopped touring. Supposedly they make good money doing the festival circuit.
