At its best, harmony duo singing can transform simple math into a magic trick. One plus one, instead of equaling two, suddenly yields an unexpected third thing. An upper-case ONE. A universal hum. A deep vibration that encompasses two different points of view. On their latest release, Every Time I Think About You, brothers Jack Torrey and Page Burkum, aka The Cactus Blossoms, once again prove themselves to be among the most adept – and distinctive – modern practitioners of that magic. But like any great magician, The Cactus Blossoms can’t – or won’t – fully explain the illusion they create.
“Harmonies are a big part of our sound, but in some ways they’re the part we focus on the least,” says Burkum. “We put most of our attention and energy into the songs themselves and then the harmonies just happen.”
There’s all kinds of magic happening on Every Time I Think About You, a record that sounds more like a band than any other in the Cactus Blossoms discography, thanks to contributions from Jeremy Hanson (drums), Jacob Hanson (guitar) and Phillip Hicks (bass). “There She Goes” casts its romantic regret against a danceable bop beat, and the title track is a heart-wrencher about loss and letting go.
“Even if you don’t set out to write songs with a theme in mind it seems like one usually presents itself,” says Torrey. “This record keeps returning to the idea of ‘moving on’ — from one place to another, from people and situations that bring you down, from loss and grief.”

Menacingly fun, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards’ brand of punk/ska mashes genres together with messy intensity for maximum enjoyment. From Boston hardcore to Colombian cumbia, southern gospel to crossover thrash, their live shows are filled with mosh pits, sock puppets, conga lines and confusion – if you are brave enough to jump in feet first.
Formed in Austin, TX in 2014, the band shamelessly embraces change and welcomes musicians of all levels into their live show experience (forever cementing those who join into the greater Grube family) and now has a rotating cast of performers on their aggressive touring schedule.
Their newest album, “Or Hans Gruber and the Die Hards,” (self-released on February 17, 2026) is the truest attestation to the Grube family growing, with more than 30 musicians making instrumental and vocal contributions. They set out in 2023 with their producer Drew LeClair to create their most prodigious album yet, which led to memorable moments like an evening fighting Austin traffic to set up a mobile rig to record three seconds of a harp from the vaudeville era; to a day of live horn, latin percussion, and choral ensembles; to foley work with paper towels and a dog water bowl. Truly, this album came straight from the deranged minds and big hearts of the artists the world has come to know as Hans Gruber and the Die Hards. Much like their ability to combine musical genres, their lyrics tread a fine line between metaphor, truth, sarcasm, and lies, assuming their audiences have the know-how to join them on this magical journey.
Possessed by unbridled joy for music, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards continue to push forward, looking for the next venue to haunt as they chant: IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!

($10-$15 + DICE fees | 16+ | 6:30pm & 8pm Sets) Nick Coventry, Matt Mitchell, Evan Dain & Marco Rosano form the swinging Hot Club of Tucson Quartet! The group plays jazz manouche in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappeli. The band starts at 6:30pm. Every 2nd Wednesday!
Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli were pivotal figures in the development of jazz in Europe, particularly through their groundbreaking work with the Quintette du Hot Club de France in the 1930s. Reinhardt, a Belgian-born Romani guitarist, overcame a debilitating hand injury to pioneer a unique style of jazz guitar that combined virtuosic speed, expressive phrasing, and gypsy musical traditions. Grappelli, a classically trained French violinist, brought elegance and melodic sophistication to jazz improvisation, helping elevate the violin as a serious jazz instrument. Together, their collaboration fused American swing with European sensibilities, laying the foundation for what became known as “Gypsy Jazz” and influencing generations of musicians worldwide.
***”Hot Jazz Wednesdays”** take you back to the roots of jazz with music from the 1920s and ’30s. Every 2nd Wednesday is reserved for the Hot Club of Tucson, which performs French Jazz Manouche in the style of Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli. Every 4th Wednesday features Marco & The Polos performing music from New Orleans & Chicago.*
