Friday Family - Best of Minnesota

It was fun to read this in "The Best of Minnesota" section in last Sunday's StarTribune. It's great to see the support and appreciation the boys are getting from local audiences and media.

Best Live Music Act to Feel Like 
You've Left the 21st Century - 
The Cactus Blossoms - 2013 Best of MN
The farther away you get from Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers and other early purveyors of classic country music — geographically speaking, and in years — the more likely it becomes that young musicians carrying their torch will come off as a clichéd, hokey retro act. Song-pickin’ brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey defy the odds and tip their hats to the country greats, especially with their all-star backing band that includes pedal-steel maestro Randy Broughten from the Gear Daddies and Trailer Trash. Their original tunes sound 60 years old but have a fresh spirit, and their duo harmonies add to the timelessness of their covers. They play every Monday night at the Turf Club and ramble around on weekends. thecactusblossoms.com
