The Great Divide Plays Cooper's BBQ Live Sat, July 23rd!

Another great show is coming to Cooper's BBQ Live as the Great Divide takes the stage this Saturday, July 23rd.

The Great Divide is a Red Dirt band originally from Stillwater, Oklahoma. When they came together, they wanted and had complete control of what they did. They formed their own record label, publishing company and operating company, and began recording. The group's first two albums were independent releases before signing with a major label - Atlantic Records.

Lead singer & songwriter Mike McCLure left the band in early 2003 to pursue a career highlighting his originals and helping other bands record albums. The band eventually broke up in 2005.

Then, in 2011 the original members reunited for an appearance and things went so well they decided to stay together and are still recording and touring together today. In celebration of their 25th anniversary in 2018, the band released the album "25 Years of the Great Divide" with 31 tracks. They released a new album "Higher" earlier this year so I'm sure that you will be hearing new music as well as great songs from their previous 8 albums that have been released since 1995.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
