Cactus Country Band was established over 20 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 and classic rock 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. Last year they opened for the Charlie Daniels Band. Over the years they have been featured with many Nashville stars, including Gary Allan, Johnny Lee, Clint Black, 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, and Grammy winner Ruben Ramos!
