"It's Gettin' Kinda Chilly"

April Mae & The June Bugs’

A full on blizzard of fun from start to finish, sure to put a swing in your step and a grin on ‘yer face!
Hot off the rousing energy and success of their “Boogie Boo!” album, this radiant retro style swing brings in all the qualities of their signature sound and debuts some audacious fancy footwork, via brassy tap dance percussion from April Mae.
Mae’s silky, sumptuous and sassified vocals tell this cheeky cautionary tale with a shake n’ a shiver. Meanwhile Catfish Dave’s guitar glistens with red-hot jazzy stylings, as Topher Horner bodaciously bows on upright bass, riding the swingin’ sizzle of ‘da skins, courtesy of Tony Mascara.
“Chilly” Enthusiastically received airplay upon it’s release on Americana, Boogie, Swing and Rockabilly Radio Stations in the United States, Canada, Europe and New Zealand.

Enjoy a Listen for a Grin from Ear to Ear.

April Mae And The June Bugs - Boogie Bus

The Boogie Bus!

April Mae has that legendary blues affliction some call the urge to “ramble” coupled with an affinity for vintage trains, bread trucks and school buses. In June of 2011 her dreams came true when she bought a diesel school bus with her heart set on converting it to run on recycled vegetable oil. On November 13, 2011 Big City Rhythm & Blue Magazine presented her and her affectionately named “Boogie Bus” with the Happy To Have the Blues Award in the category of “Best Ride – Female”. The Boogie Bus is custom painted candy apple red and banana cream in a vintage and whimsical style that took her months of sketching to realize. Grease it Up & Go!

April Mae & the June Bugs bring swinging sounds to Main Street

Broadway World Feature

By DONNA MARIE NOWAK

Mary Armstrong of The City Paper described the rockabilly-rooted quartet, the April Mae & June Bugs as having a “sound built on cigar-box guitar, slap bass, washboard, (and the swingin’est skins)  taking familiar roots genres and twisting them around Mae’s elbow-gloved, gold-capped fingers.”

The group blends rural, jump blues, retro-swing and folk music with a feeling of 1940’s jive, for a completely unique and authentic sound.
