April Mae's beloved 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 baby, here they come!

The WCUW 50th Anniversary Concert Series is made possible in part by a grant from the Worcester Arts Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
