Blue Cactus Concert History

Blue Cactus is the modern classic country duo consisting of Mario Arnez & Steph Stewart based in Chapel Hill, NC. The pair first played music together for three years as the Americana string band Steph Stewart & the Boyfriends and released two records under that name. From gritty honky-tonk to heart-breaking balladry, Blue Cactus is the one stop shop for everything that made country music matter. One prick & you’re stuck.
