Led by kindred spirit songwriters Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez, Blue Cactus got their start among the active honky-tonk circuit of North Carolina, developing an electrified twang that now branches out effortlessly into folk, alt-country, and psychedelic-tinged rock. Blue Cactus has supported a diverse set of artists over its eight-year history (<a href="spotify:artist:6HhV0jtMMK5HYnYgG0xgtz" data-name="The War And Treaty">The War And Treaty</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5cudslRGWg0GsXaN79Wifs" data-name="Town Mountain">Town Mountain</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7uLXW75DlTRahz2WKJZGeO" data-name="Steve Gunn">Steve Gunn</a> among others), with Stewart’s introspective lyricism and Arnez’s skill for lush arrangements fueling the band’s potency in-studio and onstage.
On their third full-length album Believer, the duo’s sound ascends to new heights with a collection of piercing songs penned and sung primarily by Stewart, her rich voice narrating explorations of chronic illness, ruptured dreams, and the potential of hope - with the help of an all-star cast of harmony singers (among them <a href="spotify:artist:167VlZ0C0ewQbgKexRFcs6" data-name="Erin Rae">Erin Rae</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5TEiV7NyfVSUuVGxTVEHYC" data-name="Brit Taylor">Brit Taylor</a> & <a href="spotify:artist:4SvVZW9Hpl9QBXGo7THYXe" data-name="Kate Rhudy">Kate Rhudy</a>.) Praised by No Depression for their ability to paint “beautiful pictures of limitless possibility” in roots music, the duo has drawn comparisons to <a href="spotify:artist:2H5elA2mJKrHmqkN9GSfkz" data-name="Gillian Welch">Gillian Welch</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5s6TJEuHTr9GR894wc6VfP" data-name="Emmylou Harris">Emmylou Harris</a>.
