The Cactus Blossoms is an American indie rock band based in Minneapolis, MN. The band is composed of brothers Jack Torrey (guitarbass, vocals) and Page Burkum (guitar, vocals) with a touring act including their older brother Tyler Burkum (guitar), their cousin Phillip Hicks (bass), Jake Hanson (guitar) and Jeremy Hanson (drums).  

The band's musical styling of "the sounds and approaches of early country and rock n’ roll" was inspired by traditional American folk music and "hillbilly" music and is "reminiscent of 60s Nashville and Los Angeles as heard in artists like Roy Orbison, The Byrds, and Duane Eddy."

The band's third studio album, One Day, was released on Walkie Talkie Records on February 11, 2022.

Their unique vocals as well as original style of folk music is topped off with tasteful songwriting and a charming presence on stage and record.
