The Great Divide originally consisted of bassist Kelley Green, singer-songwriter Mike McClure and brothers Scott and J.J. Lester (rhythm guitar and drums, respectively). McCLure left the band in early 2003 to pursue a career highlighting his originals and helping other bands record albums. The band continued with new singer Micah Aills but broke up after the release of "Under Your Own Sun" in 2005.[1]

On August 26, 2011, the original members reunited for an appearance and are still together today touring.[2] The album "25 Years of the Great Divide", comprising 31 tracks, was released to celebrate their 25th anniversary in 2018. On August 26, 2022, the band released "Good Side" as a single from the "Providence" album. [3]
