The drummer for the resurgent Red Dirt music band known as The Great Divide said in an interview that the group's Friday, July 19 performance engagement at a Cavalcade Rodeo dance is a welcome opportunity.J.J. Lester said the band, which initially formed in 1992 in Stillwater, has long-established and pleasant connections to Cavalcade. He described Jeff Bute, the rodeo's chairman, as a good friend and supporter of The Great Divide."We love the Cavalcade," Lester said. He recalled that the band members once received belt buckles in connection with wild cow milking at the amateur rodeo, for which this will be the 78th year."It's something we certainly enjoy doing," Lester said of playing music at Cavalcade. "That gives us an opportunity to get up there in that part of the country."The Great Divide is an unusual phenomenon. Lester said the group broke up in the 2000's due to pretty standard human foibles. That could have been the end of the line for them, but a reunion appearance in 2011 began a process of continuing to work together.The Great Divide's 2022 album, titled "Providence," has been very successful and just last week the band made its debut appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.Lester, who did an interview with the Pawhuska Journal-Capital prior to the Grand Ole Opry performance, commented on what an exciting opportunity it was. The Great Divide was not the only act on the show bill."So, we're grateful and humble and intend to do our best," Lester said, adding that there was an awareness of the desirability of handling the situation with care."Just be careful, man, like you've been here before," he said.Lester also considered how special it is that the members of the band have gradually grown together through the years."In some respects, I guess you could say this is the most successful the band has been," Lester said. "We are the best version of ourselves we've ever been."It's really rewarding, he said, for the band "to still be relevant, for people to still want to hear our music."It has been important for the band members to develop the habit of looking beyond themselves and their egos, Lester said."It's a very rare and fragile thing that we take very seriously," he said.Both a documentary and a book are in development regarding The Great Divide, so you may want to hear them Friday at Cavalcade to form your own impressions.
