World Cafe Next: The Cactus Blossoms

XPN

Published December 14, 2015 at 1:42 PM CST

Brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum are The Cactus Blossoms. With their sibling harmonies and retro-leaning country songs, their music conjures images of The Everly Brothers. And, as it happens, Torrey and Burkum are from Minneapolis, where World Cafe just traveled for its Sense Of Place series.

The Cactus Blossoms' debut album, produced by JD McPherson, comes out Jan. 22.
