The Cactus Blossoms return to The Parkway, bringing their signature harmonies to the stage for two very special evenings of songs showcasing their four critically-acclaimed albums, including their most recent release Every Time I Think About You, plus a few surprises!
Country-folk artist Thomas Sticha sets the stage with an opening set.
At its best, harmony duo singing can transform simple math into a magic trick. One plus one, instead of equaling two, suddenly yields an unexpected third thing. An upper-case ONE. A universal hum. A deep vibration that encompasses two different points of view. On their latest release, Every Time I Think About You, brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum, aka The Cactus Blossoms, once again prove themselves to be among the most adept — and distinctive — modern practitioners of that magic. But like any great magician, The Cactus Blossoms can’t — or won’t — fully explain the illusion they create.
“Harmonies are a big part of our sound, but in some ways they’re the part we focus on the least,” says Burkum. “We put most of our attention and energy into the songs themselves and then the harmonies just happen.”
There’s all kinds of magic happening on Every Time I Think About You, a record that sounds more like a band than any other in the Cactus Blossoms discography, thanks to contributions from Jeremy Hanson (drums), Jacob Hanson (guitar) and Phillip Hicks (bass). “There She Goes” casts its romantic regret against a danceable bop beat, and the title track is a heart-wrencher about loss and letting go.
“Even if you don’t set out to write songs with a theme in mind it seems like one usually presents itself,” says Torrey. “This record keeps returning to the idea of ‘moving on’ — from one place to another, from people and situations that bring you down, from loss and grief.”
Over the past two years, country-folk artist Thomas Sticha has blazed his own trail in the Midwest music scene. His unique blend of country and folk showcases beautiful imagery, catchy hooks, and clever turns of storylines that will surely keep folks guessing. With four new singles in 2025, two in 2026, and plenty more on the way, Thomas and his band are positioned well to break out as an emerging Midwest country-folk act in 2026.
