Blue Cactus

Rooted in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Blue Cactus got their start among the active honky-tonk circuit, developing an electrified twang that now branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country, and psychedelic-tinged rock. Having released three records to critical acclaim, they have grown a cult following in the South and beyond, their introspective lyricism and blistering guitar techniques making the band potent in the studio and on stage.
Released April 2025 via Sleepy Cat Records, their new album, Believer, has received praise from several tastemakers including No Depression, NPR, Holler Country, Bandcamp, and The Bluegrass Situation with Indy Week applauding, “Believer is a standout album, with Stewart’s steady Dolly Parton-esque twang shimmering alongside the band’s pop-country hooks and bittersweet (but always catchy) lyrics." Brimming with cracked-open honesty and electrified twang, Believer cements Blue Cactus as a leading force in modern country and roots music.
