Sing Out Loud: The Cactus Blossoms | SEPTEMBER 12

The 5th Annual Sing Out Loud Festival returns with more than one hundred live performances at multiple venues each weekend from September 10 to September 26 – making September The (Unofficial) Month of Music in St. Johns County.

Blood Harmony. Whether it’s The Beach Boys, Bee Gees or First Aid Kit, that sibling vocal blend is the secret sauce in some of the most spine-tingling moments in popular music. The Cactus Blossoms – Minneapolis-based brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey – offer compelling evidence that this tradition is alive and well, with a deceptively unadorned musical approach that offers “creative turns of phrase, gorgeous harmonies, and an ageless sound” (NPR All Things Considered), not to mention spine tingles aplenty. Their 2016 debut You’re Dreaming, a stunning and transporting collection of original songs, earned high praise from Rolling Stone and Vice Noisey, tour stints with Kacey Musgraves and Lucius, and a perfectly cast performance on the third season of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. Now their unlikely rise continues with new album Easy Way, to be released on their own label Walkie Talkie Records.
The Cactus Blossoms, Dustin Monk & The Hustle, Howdy, and Christian Powers perform at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Sunday, September 12 from 5:30-10 PM.

Doors open at 4:30 PM.
