The Cactus Blossoms

The Cactus Blossoms is an American alternative country and indie folk band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band is composed of brothers Jack Torrey (vocals, guitar, bass) and Page Burkum (vocals, guitar) with a touring act including Phillip Hicks (bass), Jake Hanson (guitar), and Jeremy Hanson (drums). The band's musical styling of "the sounds and approaches of early country and rock n' roll" was inspired by traditional American folk music and "hillbilly" music and is "reminiscent of 60s Nashville and Los Angeles as heard in artists like Roy Orbison, The Byrds, Duane Eddy, and the Everly Brothers." The band's third studio album, One Day, was released on Walkie Talkie Records on February 11, 2022. In 2024, the band released their fourth album, “Every Time I Think About You”, which was recorded at Minneapolis’ legendary Creation Audio – where hometown garage-rock heroes The Trashmen cut “Surfin’ Bird,” and The Replacements (band) made Tim. There, The Cactus Blossoms once again teamed with engineer/mixer Alex Hall (JD McPherson, Nick Lowe) for their most commanding full-band sessions to date.
