@Cactus_Music is excited to host Sama’an Ashrawi (@Sam3an) for an author event on 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗮𝘁 𝟱:𝟯𝟬 𝗣𝗠. Sama’an is celebrating the release of his debut book, 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘢 𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦, published via @RoughTradeBooks.The event will feature readings from the book, with a discussion moderated by @ArisKian (Houston Poet Laureate, 2023-2025). We hope you can join us for this intimate event. As always, complimentary refreshments courtesy of @SaintArnoldBrewing.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲‼️In a debut of wild scope, Sama’an Ashrawi’s 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘢 𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦 tells the stories of his father’s place within the nascent Palestinian rock’n’roll scene of the 60s, as well as the author’s own odyssey through the living history of American music and culture.Told in the voice of ‘the writer’, who attempts to track down a member of Al-Bara’em (The Blooms in English), the revolutionary family band his father fronted in his native Palestine, now missing somewhere in America, Ashrawi’s tale takes the form of a series of road trips that act as the catalyst for discoveries and recoveries of diasporic family histories and the great traditions of American music.From the early blues through to New York hip-hop, hardcore punk, indie, classic funk and bleeding into stand-up, visual art, graffiti and fashion——𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘢 𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦 joins the infinite dots of American culture in a wholly new, wholly original way, and in apparently effortless, elegant prose, brings us a world of migrant America as influential as it is invisible. This is not just a book for our age, but truly a book for the ages—a book that contains all of Whitman’s American multitudes—and so, of course, it contains the whole world’s.

Houston, @Cactus_Music is honored to help celebrate the release of @TobeNwigwe’s newest album, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦, out Friday, October 9th, 2026, via his own label (Tobe Nwigwe LLC) with a “𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮 𝔀𝓮𝓮𝓴” wristband meet-and-greet signing!

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲‼️“Despite the titles found here, S.O.S is not an album in distress, or indeed full of the same old…same old, and it is anything but messed up, and Marina is far too poised and purposeful in her songwriting to be accused of a slap-happy approach. This is the sound of Marina Rocks doing what she does best: taking the sounds of her Texas home for a spin all around the musical landscape, coming back with brand-new takes on familiar styles, and then using those as vehicles to deliver poetic lyrics full of messages and meanings that work on numerous levels.It’s, quite frankly, an incredible album, but would you have expected anything else?” @BigTakeOverMag

🗣️Calling all my Houston-area @RemiWolf fans!

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲‼️If Remi Wolf’s first two albums, 2021’s 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘰 and 2024’s 𝘉𝘪𝘨 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴, were in technicolor, her third LP, 𝘔𝘶𝘥, is its more neutral, earthy, and grounded sibling. Still colorful, as Wolf tends to be, but from a more rooted & grounded place. The rawness with which Wolf wrote the album is delivered in the sound: stripped away of synths and programmed drums, 𝘔𝘶𝘥 is Remi Wolf at her most lyrically and sonically vulnerable. The songs evoke the feeling of singing around a campfire with just your friends and a couple of guitars because that’s how it felt for Wolf to make it. But to find the clearing in the forest, she needed to make a whole new trail first.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲‼️“It’s funny how records show you who they are,” Chesney shares. “And 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢 came together in a whole other way when we found the title track and a couple others. When we went in and cut those last three tracks, I realized: it’s like a rock in your shoe, it’ll bother you until it’s right when you’re dealing in songs. But when it’s right, you know.”“Some of these songs are unlike anything people have heard, or haven’t heard in a long time,” says Chesney. “Some of them go deep, some of them will make people turn it up, a few will make them laugh… But, together, I think they’ll remind them how great it is to be alive. Even on days where you need a song like ‘Carry On,’ we’re making the best of what we’ve got.”
