CACTUS COUNTRY BAND
Cactus Country Band was established over 25 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.

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.
