We backed Tony Booth and Justin Trevino in Hallettsville on Apr 28th at the Fiddlers Frolicks.   Great turnout of almost 500 guests for our 3rd Legends concert on May 19th at Texas Pridet BBQ.   Great to work again with Dottsy, Linda Davis (Hillary Scott with Lady A's mom), Deborah Allen, and Dickey Lee at this event.   Our headliner was Gene Watson.  We opened for Josh Abbott & Kyle Park  at Oyster Bake.  We also opened for Cory Morrow  in Lampasas at the Spring Ho Fest, huge crowds!  We previously opened for MIDLAND at the Oyster Bake. We have also opened at that annual festival for RESTLESS HEART and Jana Kramer.  Plus we worked with  Kevin Fowler at Yorktown Western Days.  We performed at Western Days and  opened for Moe Bandy, TG Shepherd, and John Conlee.   Last June we opened for Lorrie Morgan in Bandera.  Last year we played at the Courtyard at the AT&T Center before the Tanya Tucker Show, and this year before the Tracy Byrd Show. 

  Cactus Country Band was established over 35  years ago, and through the years has become one of South Texas' most requested bands for weddings, conventions, private parties, and festivals.  In addition to mainstream C&W music, they can perform a variety of styles of music including oldies, classic rock, and event Latin hits  to satisfy even the most diverse audiences.

Cactus Country's resume includes many regional festivals, and they are a favorite of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.  They have also performed at the Texas State Fair in Dallas.   Over the years they have been featured with many Nashville stars, including Steve Wariner, Restless Heart, Tracy Lawrence, Tracy Byrd,  Gary Allan, Johnny Lee, Clint Black, Jack Ingram, Charlie Daniel's Band, Dixie Chicks (before they were famous), Rex Allen Jr, Rick Trevino, Aaron Tippin, Johnny Rodriguez,  Bellamy Brothers, Doug Supernaw, Perfect Stranger, Paulette Carlson, Sylvia, Moe Bandy, Chris LeDoux, and LeeRoy Parnell.  They have also opened for Tejano Stars David Lee Garza, Jay Perez,  Roberto Pulido, Ram Herrera, Emilio, Gary Hobbs, and Grammy winner Ruben Ramos!  They opened for Grand Ole Opry Star John Conlee twice at the Yorktown Western Days and the Round up Event Center.  At the  Fiesta Oyster Bake they opened for new Nashville Artists Midland.   THey opened for Kevin Fowler last October.
In 2000, Cactus Country was a state finalist in the True Value Country Music Showdown.  Previously, the band has been finalists in the Marlboro Country Music Talent Roundup and the Miller Battle of the Bands.  They have been the backup band the last 10  years for the Texaco Country Showdown, for both the local competition and the State Finals Competition, which is coordinated through the Nashville Headquarters.   This year's  State Finals  (North Texas) will be at Billy Bob's Texas in Forth Worth, with Cactus Country as the host band.   At Bayfest 2009, Cactus Country  opened for Nashville Star TRACY LAWRENCE.  In April 2010, we opened for RESTLESS HEART at the Fiesta Oyster Bake!  We had a great time with  Gary P. Nunn  at the Lonesome Dove Fest in Karnes City!  We'll also performed again with the legendary Rex Allen Jr in Waco.   And we played the Main Stage at State Fair of Texas. We opened for Country Music Hall of Fame member John Conlee at Yorktown Western Days & Round-up In Boerne.  We opened for new Nashville artist Midland at Fiesta Oyster Bake!  And we return to Oyster Bake ins April 2020.   We opened for Moe Bandy for the 6th time on Apr 22 at Texas Pride, and we'll be back at the Yorktown Western Days on Oct 22 to open for Legend who will be named soon.  We open again for Moe on Fri Oct 13th at 11th Street in Bandera.
The band also had the privilege of traveling to Central America, playing two nights for a Texas-themed restaurant opening in San Jose, Costa Rica.  They regularly travel around the great state of TEXAS!
The group performs regularly at 11th Street Cowboy Bar, Texas Pride BBQ, The Den, the QUIHI GUN CLUB, CRIDER'S RODEO, & UTOPIA RODEOS, 

We opened for Nashville Legend John Conlee at the neat Round Up Beer Garden in Bergheim & also at the Yorktown Western Days.  Great crowd.  Here's video of a special song that brought the house down!  Just click on the link :  https://youtu.be/7poAANDgXXg
