The Great Divide is a roots rock band that sounds a lot like New Monsoon with a brass and woodwinds section. Founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the members share a wide variety of influences, including funk, country, blues, reggae and rock.
Their debut full length Reservoir is an aptly titled collection of songs showing all those genres, messing them up and lcoking back inot the groove - and all of it is delivered with confidence. Vocalist and songwriter Teddy Grossman has enough power to float on top of the heavy instrumentation, with the gentle touch of keyboardist Jeff Leibovich serving as a the musical quarterback. RIYL: New Monsoon, Back Yard Tire Fire, The Bridge and the Ryan Montbleau Band.
