Dance Time in Texas

Featured Artist • Mike McClure

Widely recognized as a pioneer of the Red Dirt movement… Mike McClure got his start in Stillwater, Oklahoma at “The Farm,” playing alongside legends like Bob Childers and Tom Skinner. He later became a staple at the Wormy Dog Saloon… helping break artists like Cody Canada, Jason Boland, and Stoney LaRue. In 1992, he co-founded The Great Divide—one of the cornerstone bands of Red Dirt music—serving as lead singer and songwriter… eventually landing a major deal with Atlantic Records. Beyond the stage, McClure became one of the most influential producers in the genre… shaping records for Cross Canadian Ragweed, Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, and Kaitlin Butts. More recently… he and his wife formed Crow & Gazelle… and now he’s back with The Great Divide and they’ve just delivered a powerful new release to Texas radio…A song about loss love and having a Hard Time Movin On.
