PRAISE FOR RED TAIL RING
“Michael Beauchamp and Laurel Premo seem to be so deep into the tradition that they are re-defining it.” Amos Perrine, No Depression

“Red Tail Ring brings to the stage a lively and commanding fusion of string and vocal harmonies. The pair deliver both established ballads and original compositions with a clear, authentic ease that manages to transcend traditional form while honoring its legacy.” Rob Cole, Grand Rapids Press

“Laurel Premo and Michael Beauchamp share a reverence for vivid, authentic American art forms. They are both rustic and elegant, and they lift us into their sound.” Seth Bernard, Earthwork Music

“Red Tail Ring is re-imagining Americana music with pure soul and without pretension” Jay Lapp, The Steel Wheels
FALL AWAY BLUES 
‘Fall Away Blues,’ the fourth full-length studio album from Red Tail Ring, is the culmination of years of writing, arranging, rewriting, and recording by Beauchamp and Premo. Tracked by Ian Gorman of Kalamazoo’s beloved La Luna Studio, the album features eight original songs, three traditional interpretations, and one blistering tune.

Woven together by RTR’s signature instrumental variety (with guitar, fiddle, and both open-back and gourd banjos) and close harmony singing, the album spins tales of hard times, changing love, and the challenge of finding a place in the world. ‘Fall Away Blues,’ the title track, exemplifies the artistic thrust of the album by functioning both as a declarative command and as a hopeful prayer for better days ahead.

**********************************
Michigan-based, Red Tail Ring are Laurel Premo and Michael Beauchamp. Together they create intricate arrangements of original folk music and traditional ballads with banjo, fiddle, guitar, and lush harmonies.

"The very best of the 21st century's minimalist and highly original folk music . . . a peerless duo." - American Roots UK.

Fresh off their fourth full-length studio release 'Fall Away Blues', Laurel and Michael are re-imagining Americana music with pure soul. Featuring new songwriting fused with old-time and country blues themes, Red Tail Ring tackle topical issues such as gun violence and environmentalism, as well as the age-old themes of place and love.

Formed in 2009, they've performed their unique brand of acoustic roots all over the United States and throughout Canada, the UK and Europe including Denmark, Germany, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

"Red Tail Ring doesn't just pay homage to vintage folk and roots music… they breathe new life into it, channelling the power and charm of seminal material into its own original songs."- John Sinkevics, LocalSpins.
