About April Mae & The June Bugs
April Mae & The June Bugs signature sound has evolved from deep roots. Roots that dig deep from the wellspring of American roots music. Nourished by intoxicating vintage jazz swing, unbridled Americana n' folk, effervescent rockabilly, and the spirited jump blues and viper jazz of the 1930's and 1940's. Performing on traditional and not so traditional home made instruments, invoking elements of New Orleans early jazz n' skiffle music. Serving up deep vintage vibes is their speciality!
