McClure got his start in Stillwater, Oklahoma, playing at the notorious "Farm" with legendary artists including Bob Childers, Tom Skinner, Steve Ripley, and Jimmy LaFave, and later was a founding member of The Great Divide. The band signed to Atlantic Records in 1998, and "I'd Rather Have Nothing," written by Mike and initially recorded by the band, was later recorded by Garth Brooks for his 2005 limited series box set, The Lost Sessions, which has sold over 2 million copies.
Mike was also the permanent producer for Red Dirt favorites Cross Canadian Ragweed, and "Fighting For," written by Mike and Cody Canada reached number 39 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. He has also produced albums by other artists including the Turnpike Troubadours, Tom Skinner, Jason Boland & the Stragglers, and many others.
Mike and Chrislyn first met at a concert near Fort Worth, TX back in 2003, experiencing “an instant ancient connection, at the cellular level” from the first time they talked. Mike had made his name as one of the progenitors of the Oklahoma Red Dirt Country scene, producing early records for Turnpike Troubadours, Kaitlin Butts, Jason Boland, and Cross Canadian Ragweed. Because of this, he was a staple of the music scene touring around the region at that time. Chrislyn, who historically has lived as an artist in behind-the-scenes support roles, was even at one point Mike’s booking agent. Though circumstances kept them from pursuing their initial connection, they drifted in and out of each other’s lives over the years as friends. But, as fate would have it, they crossed paths by chance in 2018 and “that was that.”

Tulsa Time House Concerts are always BYOB and potluck events. We open the gates at 6:30 with music starting at 7:30. This gives everyone an opportunity to choose their seats then grab a bite and mingle with like minded music lovers. House concerts have become popular among people who want a more intimate setting, a safe and welcoming place for those who come solo and a chance to see and hear their favorite artists without the distractions of a club. Everyone is expected to respect the artist and others at the show by limiting conversations to before and between sets. Drinking, of course, is allowed, but please remember that “When you drink, you’re louder than you think.”
Shows are on the backyard stage when the weather permits so bring a lawn chair, please. If not, the show is inside where all seating is provided.
