Originally from Nova Scotia, David Henman was one of the founding members of April Wine, along with his brother Ritchie, cousin Jim and remaining member Myles Goodwyn. Henman was with the band from it's inception in 1969 until 1973. He played on the first three albums, and one of his songs, "Drop Your Guns", became a Top40 hit in Canada. He earned three platinum and two gold albums in the process.

Henman was also a member of All the Young Dudes with former Wackers Wayne Cullen, Bob Segarini and future April Wine member Brian Greenway. They released an album on CBS in the mid-70s as The Dudes, and performed with many international acts including a tour of Eastern Canada opening for The Bee Gees.

Henman would then create The Debutantes followed by Sensible Shoes who, along with brother Ritchie, released the 7" EP "Off 'n' Runnin' in 1984.

Henman moved to Toronto in 1986, where for two years he was the editor of Canadian Musician magazine. As a journalist, he has interviewed everyone from Leonard Cohen and Celine Dion to Henry Rollins and Dwight Yoakam.

He then re-connected with Segarini for Cats & Dogs in 1995. Henman would leave that, along with several members of Cats & Dogs, to form the Melissa Etheridge tribute act Brave & Crazy two years later.

Henman currently formed The David Henman Band in 2004. They have released two CDs to date.
