Cactus Country released their first album, “By Request” in 1990, their first CD in 1996, and a new CD “Jukebox” in 2003. Due to the band’s extensive experience and popularity, they work with local radio station Y-100 FM to do promotional events.
Over the years, Cactus Country has been featured with many Nashville stars, including Restless Heart, Clint Black, Gary Allan, Tracy Byrd, Johnny Lee, Rex Allen Jr., Tracy Lawrence, Rick Trevino, Aaron Tippin, Doug Supernaw, Perfect Stranger, Paulette Carlson of Highway 101, Sylvia, Moe Bandy, Chris LeDoux, LeeRoy Parnell, & even the Dixie Chicks (before they were famous!). They opened for Charlie Daniels Band at the Go Rodeo Gala, and Restless Heart in 2010. They have backed Western artist, Rex Allen Jr. on several occasions as his backup band when he visits Texas.
Over their career they have been finalists in the Marlboro Country Music Roundup and the Miller Battle of the Bands. In 2000, they won the local stage of the Colgate Country Music Showdown and later placed 2nd in the state. Since that contest, the Nashville office of the Showdown regularly books the group to be the back-up band for state finalist contests throughout Texas. They also played an international booking, performing at the grand opening of a new restaurant in Costa Rica, Central America.
