The Great Divide with special guest Austin AllsupPresented by Lava CantinaALL AGES The Great Divide The Great Divide is bringing American Red Dirt to Lava Cantina on Thursday, September 1st starting at 7:00PM with special guest Austin Allsup! **About The Great Divide** The Great Divide has long been considered pioneers of the Red Dirt music movement, and in the early 90’s brought their own special brand of Red Dirt to a national audience when they inked a deal with Atlantic Records. In 1994, their major label debut BREAK IN THE STORM garnered them a strong foothold in a predominately mainstream market. The first single release and music video “Pour Me A Vacation” garnered them admirable mainstream success both at radio and on CMT. Their second major label release REVOLUTIONS continued to push the envelope debuting on the Billboard Country Chart at #73 in its first week. Sound Scan reported REVOLUTIONS as the #4 best selling album in all music genres throughout Oklahoma City Metro. It was also #29 in pop sales in Nebraska and #8 in country sales in Texas and Oklahoma. Throughout their long journey together, The Great Divide never wavered from their commitment to original music beset with powerful, heartfelt lyrics intertwined with their distinctive country-rock sound. In what was once a label conscious industry they were always concerned with the music rather than its definition. Americana, alternative country, outlaw, country-rock-it all fits at times. The sound is definitely country, but the songs reflect a wide range of lyrical influences, from classic blue-collar imagery of Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp to the countrified earthiness of Guy Clark or Steve Earle. It was The Great Divide that paved the way for other successful Red Dirt acts such as Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jason Boland and The Stragglers, Turnpike Troubadours and Stoney LaRue, just to name a few. Their success and their legacy remains a proud part of Oklahoma’s tradition of harboring some of the best damn music talent on the planet. The Great Divide is set to record its first full length new music album in 17 years February 2022 with long time producer/collaborator Llyod Maines. Doors for this show are at 5:30pm, with a show start time of 7PM. General Admission for this show is CHARGED. Reserved seating on our VIP Patio and Balcony is available for purchase; Limited availability. All reserved seating is priced PER SEAT along the railing and tables.
