The Cactus Blossoms

Everwood Farmstead Foundation's 5th anniversary season of the Artist Series continues with The Cactus Blossoms on Saturday, June 4th.

Brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum grew up in northeast Minneapolis and have been blending their voices as The Cactus Blossoms since 2010. In January 2016, they released their latest album, You're Dreaming (produced by JD McPherson), via Red House Records.

Inspired by fellow Minnesotan, Bob Dylan, Jack and Page began making something new out of classic forms and minimal instrumentation. By infusing elements of early rock n roll and classic country, The Cactus Blossoms have created a sound that is both timeless and contemporary, accompanied by thoughtful lyrics and soaring harmonies. Their unforgettable songs have made them favorites in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul music scene.

Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2

"The Cactus Blossoms have quickly turned into the Twin Cities most beloved new traditional-country act"
Chris Riemenschneider, Minneapolis Star Tribune
