Brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey, better known as The Cactus Blossoms, create a singular magic through harmony singing, where two voices yield something far greater than the sum of their parts. For The Cactus Blossoms, harmonies may come naturally, but the heart of their music remains in the songs — and the deep connection they inspire. Since their rise from Minneapolis clubs to national stages, The Cactus Blossoms have earned acclaim for albums like You’re Dreaming and Easy Way, and a spotlight in Twin Peaks: The Return. Their latest album, Every Time I Think About You, recorded at Creation Audio, blends full-band energy with reflective themes, underscoring their place among today’s most distinctive duos.

Charlie Parr, a Duluth-based songwriter with 13 full-length albums and decades of relentless touring, has earned a devoted following for his unvarnished storytelling and masterful guitar work. His music has long “carved a path straight to the gut,” blending folk, blues, and raw emotion. On his latest release, Dog (Red House Records), he confronts depression, mortality and resilience, recording at Creation Audio with longtime collaborators to create a collection that’s as deeply human as it is defiantly hopeful.
