Jivin’ & Swingin’ - with the Spark of Tap-Dance Percussion

Serving up deep vintage vibes is our specialty! Step inside JAZZEE! - a joyfully exuberant celebration of vintage-inspired jazz. Experience the intimate chemistry, playful spontaneity, and rich musicality that April Mae & The June Bugs bring to festivals, theaters, and arts venues across the country.

Led by April Mae - tap-dancing, washboard-wielding, kazoozaphone-scatting vocalist - their signature sound is steeped in intoxicating vintage swing, spirited jump blues, viper jazz, and unbridled roots music. Performed on traditional and delightfully non-traditional instruments, their show evokes the charm of early New Orleans jazz and skiffle while delivering a fresh, eclectic energy all their own.

Perfect for:
Jazz Programming, Festivals, Concert Series, Theaters, Cultural Centers, Arts Venues, and Vintage Lifestyle or Fashion Events. For swing dance events, please see our Swing Out! program, specially curated for Lindy-hopping swing dancers.
