J.D. Monson & Cactus Wine


JD Monson is right at home strolling as a solo cowboy, fronting his band, Cactus Wine, or working his day job as a sworn deputy sheriff in Dallas County.  His rich country voice and handsome looks are as appealing as his genuine rapport with an audience.  Specializing in country and classic rock favorites (see list below), JD & Cactus Wine also play many other styles for added versatility!


Call 972-231-4091 for available dates!

J.D. as solo guitarist or with his full band

JD's band is one of the most versatile choices if you are looking for a great country band that can take requests of other styles of dance music.  The six piece includes the female vocalist who sings as well as she is beautiful to look at.  

"Excellent! Thanks J.D.!"
Mike Nielson - Transcore, September 19, 2006

"They (JD Monson Duo) were excellent! Club members who were having dinner in another part of the building came by just to listen and commented on how good the music was. One member asked or a card. We couldn't have been more pleased".
Kay Pyland, Saturday, October 22, 2005

"They did a wonderful job.  Everyone raved about the band and many people wanted to know where I found them.  They also did a great job on our songs."

"JD Monson and company were fabulous.  Please tell JD that we made $10,000 more than last year.  We are so delighted with their performance and Kristi (the female vocalist) is the best!"
