REX ALLEN JR. had a number of Top 10 Nashville hits in the 1970’s & 80’s, and is in the Western Music National Hall of Fame in New Mexico. He was also a regular on the Statler Brothers Show.  Cactus Country is his back up band when his shows bring him to Texas.  As a long time National Artist who's dad was also a hit singer and Western movie, we appreciate his comments. We'll be backing up Rex again in Oct 2014 in Waco!

 Warm Regards,

Tony, et al  – for 40 years I have heard and seen many bands– some good and some needing time. I’ve never had as much response from guests as I’ve had about you guys. I had people ask how to get in touch with y’all, etc. Thanks for the show you put on Friday night and I look forward to next year.

March 2, 2019   Riding River Ranch Party in Leakey, Tx

We hired Cactus Country for my grandfather’s 80th birthday party. We had the party at a private ranch and they were very accommodating and extremely professional, as well as talented!! The band sounded so great, the guests danced all night to every single song. They sent me a song list to pick from, and stuck to it, even throwing some extras in, and the fiddle player did an insane encore of Devil Went Down to Georgia that left us screaming for more! All our guests were extremely impressed and have sore feet from dancing all night.  We can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and talent.  I have forwarded their info to a few guests who asked for booking info.  We highly recommend this band, they are fantastic!!

Wedding at The Alexander at Creek Road-  Dripping Springs Tx. May 19, 2018

Tony,   We just wanted to thank you for performing beautifully at our wedding.   Everyone raved about how wonderful you so sounded. My only regret is that we didn't hire a videographer who could capture how great you guys sounded. 

                Thanks for playing the ceremony as well.  I the midst of my emotions I remembered to listen as you performed Canon in D. That was one of my favorite songs to play on the piano years ago, and it was such a beautiful treat to hear you and Brenda perform that. Also, your rendition of "If I Needed You" was breathtaking.

Thank you all so much, and though we won't need you for another wedding of ours, we will recommend you to others and remember you for other events forthcoming. It was truly a pleasure working with you all.

Nicole Lee Evans - bride

Wedding – Oct 21, 2017 Paniolo Ranch  - Sisterdale  

The Cactus Country Band was everything we expected - and more - at my daughter's wedding at Paniolo Ranch in the Texas Hill Country in October 2017.  Your band's playlist is beyond impressive, and every song was arranged and performed perfectly.  The surprise "toast" to my daughter in the form of the performance of an original song I wrote for the occasion was a moment that no one in attendance will ever forget.  The guests would have danced until morning had they been allowed!  Thanks for making the event so special.  We are so pleased to have chosen Cactus Country Band.

Tony and Brenda,     I was just getting ready to sit down and email you to say thank you for a wonderful evening.  Everything turned out great.  We were surprised at how all those “old” people danced the night away.  At first we were concerned about how small the dance floor was but intimate works well.  Choice of music was good and the young family members got into it, also.  Ya know, it is a neat place!!

 Hope to see you soon.

 THANK YOU and your team for everything that evening!  We greatly enjoyed the music and as always it was wonderful to see you and Brenda and the group.  The wedding could not have been more perfect, and we thank you for helping to make things extra special!  So exciting to know that Jason and Amanda have now created “Cactus Country history” as the 1st couple to have you play at their wedding where you had also played at BOTH sets of parents’ weddings! 

 It’s so hard to believe that after all those months of planning and preparation that the “wedding of the century” (J) is actually over!!!!  Now Jason and Amanda have returned from Cabo and are settling in to their new home in Cestohowa and “reality”……. J

 We’ve still got 3 more boys to marry off, so hopefully will be working with you again before too much longer! J

Note from Leon Springs Dancehall Regular     

We attended two days and two nights of the Biggest Little Cowboy Event in LaGrange last month.....and NONE  of the six or so live bands were a good as Cactus Country!  There was Jake Hooker (his dad Tommy was good), Landon Dodd, Rocky King, Billy Mata, and a couple of others I can't remember....oh Miss Leslie Sloan was good.  But now I know how much I'd rather dance to your music.  You guys are incredibly accomplished and versatile.  The very best!

 Oh Tony, YOU and your group couldn't have been better!!!  Cactus Country was fabulous!!!

Truly, Tony, the Veterinarians and their guests loved Cactus Country and it showed!! In all the eight years that I have been working at SWVS, there has not been this fun, excitement and action on the dance floor ever with our group!!  (As a matter of fact, I pulled the dance floor because I did not expect our group to be dancing the night away). 

 We are excited that we chose the right entertainment that night - Cactus Country!!  Thank YOU and your group for a wonderful, fun, energized, entertaining evening.  Our group did not want it to end and they could have danced all night.

  Wedding - Dec 17, 2011 Koenig Park, Castroville

Just a quick note to thank you for playing at our daughter's wedding and provided the perfect entertainment for the evening. 

The music was great and everyone had a wonderful time.  What I loved was that the  sound was not too loud that people

 could still talk to each other while you were playing.  Also it was seamless between the band and the

CD's that were played during the intermissions and for the special songs.  It was hard to tell when you were playing and when you

weren't.  Thanks again for being so professional and for making the wedding a very memorable event.

 Truly,    Joey and Debbie Weiblen

  CRIDER'S RODEO - Hunt, Tx  2010

I work for Camp Lonehollow in Vanderpool, Texas. Every summer our counselors spend their Saturday nights at Criders. We love that place! In January we are having a counselor reunion out at Lonehollow and on Saturday night Jan. 15 and one of our ideas was to re-create Criders for our counselors. Every time I think of Criders I immediately think of Cactus Country. Ya’ll are the band that we always hope is there. So I was wanting information on booking Cactus Country for our reunion.

Thanks,  Meghan Sanders

Just wanted to thank you all for the great music at our reception.  We have had so many people tell us what a great time they had, and what a great band you were.  I think some of them may even visit you at the Quihi gun club.  Kelly & Kenneth had a great time.  Thanks again,  Pete & Sandy Keiser

Music for Needville wedding (near Houston )

 Tony,   Just wanted to say a word of thanks to you and all of the band for the GREAT job that ya'll did at Jayme's wedding!!!  Everyone has been commenting on your band.  I must have been on a stress relief high at the reception because I think I had more fun than anyone should be allowed to have in one night.  The music was fantastic and your song choices great!

Thanks again, and if I ever need a band again I will be sure to contact you.  I will also recommend you to anyone needing one.

Thanks again for a wonderful job,

Cindy Nulisch

 Tony,   I just want to thank yall for doing such a great job at our reception.  The music and order of the songs were great.  Everybody including Jon and I enjoyed everything.  The grand march was so much fun too.  The next day everybody was talking about how much fun they during the grand march.  It was the talk of our gift opening on the Sunday after the wedding.  Now during the grand march I did lose the glass in one of my pictures frames because someone hit it and the glass broke, but it was all worth it to see the looks on people faces and how much fun they were having.

 Again I just wanted to thank yall and tell you that yall did a great job!

 Sincerely,

Christina

Rodeo Fall Fest event at Joe & Harry Freeman Coliseum

 The band was great.  I heard lots of good comments.

I had a good time. However;  I swear the margarita's had no alcohol.  I drank 5, and my sister in law did to.  We did not even get tipsy. Keith was there, he played at a table on the end the whole night.  Please pass on the note to your cousins with Cactus Country
