The boys sure are keeping busy this summer!
Here are some upcoming shows in our area.
The Cactus Blossoms will be playing tonight at the
Basilica Block Party in Minneapolis. They'll go on at 6:00pm at the
VITA.MN Stage.
Tyler's band,
Leagues, will be playing at the Bastille Day Block Party on Sunday, July 14, at Barbette's in Uptown. I'm not sure what time they go on, but I assume it's in the evening.
The Cactus Blossoms will also be playing at the
Bluegrass Americana Festival in Rosemount, MN on Saturday night, July 20, 7:00pm. This is a free outdoor concert in Rosemount's Central Park.

A couple days ago,
Colleen Sheehy posted an
INFORUM article about an upcoming July 18 concert in Fargo, ND featuring the
Cactus Blossoms and the Avett Brothers. They will be performing for a
street dance and picnic in front of the
Plains Art Museum.
She writes:
I have unabashed enthusiasm for The Cactus Blossoms. When I first
walked into the Turf Club in St. Paul, where they were in residence
every Monday night, I immediately felt transported to a 1940s honky tonk
in Texas.
They cover classic country western such as Hank
Williams, Bob Wills, Patsy Kline and more. And they also do their own
original songs.
With a pedal steel and upright bass players,
fiddler, and the brothers’ vintage guitars, they have a richly textured
country sound. They are not nostalgic about this music. They don’t play
to hark back to “the good old days.”
But they are revivalists,
demonstrating that good country music can draw on sonic landscapes of
the past that speak to us today.
