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.
