"April Mae & The June Bugs never fail to truly portray the traditions of early American music. Incorporating elements of swing and skiffle, give April Mae + Co. an edge on music already machete sharp. With a juking, jiving, rocking recorded catalog and a searing sound as Southern authentic and sweet as Georgia peaches.”
- A.D. Amorosi, Dosage Magazine, Philadelphia, PA
“With a sound built on cigar-box guitar, slap bass, washboard (and the swingin’est skins) no act is more fun - Taking familiar roots genres and twisting them around Mae’s elbow-gloved, gold capped fingers.”
- Mary Armstrong, The City Paper, Philadelphia, PA
"Stunning and distinctive both visually and vocally."
- Sandie Reilly, Co-Producer, The Folk Project, Folk Music TV
“A re-envisioning of the past while innovative and extremely fun - Real, raucous and righteous!”

Big Jim Sykes, Sirius Radio, Memphis, TN
"East coast ramblers April Mae and her fellows have a vibe that you cannot duplicate,
solidly entertaining American roots music, Roots Baby Roots!"
- Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine
"Sometimes the coolest new thing in the world is taking an updated look at the past and April Mae & The June Bugs do just that - high octane Americana, swing, rockabilly and jump blues souped-up for this post-modern age."
