Red Tail Ring is the Americana roots duo of Michael Beauchamp and Laurel Premo. Whether rendering a traditional tune or one of their original compositions, the duo infuses each song with musical imagination, haunting harmonies and instrumental artistry on fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, jawharp and plain-old foot stomping.
Since 2009, Red Tail Ring has released three albums, and traveled increasingly farther in their musical ramblings – performing throughout the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast, as well as touring in Denmark and Germany.

On Tuesday, September 18th, The Inn at Stonecliffe will be hosting the Mackitraz 5 in the heated tent for the last party of the year.
We have partnered with Chris West and the Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society to raise funds for this cause. An appetizer buffet and full bar will be served in the tent. We will bring the wicker furniture from the portico and additional seating into the heated tent. Dinner will be served in the dining room. No RSVP’s are required. Come and join us Rain or Shine!
The Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society will accepting donations and raffling off the following items:
— An invitation for 2 aboard the Ugly Anne to the Waugoshance Lighthouse with the Lighthouse Board in the summer of 2013. This 6-hour trip is a truly unique opportunity to see this historic structure with the people who know it best!
— A painting of the Waugoshance Lighthouse that will be painted live in the tent Tuesday evening by local artist Noel Skiba!
The Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society has the opportunity to obtain a 2 for 1 match from the Michigan Lighthouse Assistance Program in order to fund the completion of a Historic Structure Report. We need to submit this report to several federal entities before any renovation work can begin on the lighthouse. If we raise $10,000, the State program will double our amount and give us $20,000! The total $30,000, funded by our Indiegogo supporters (you!) and the State, will allow us to pay for the report and then begin renovation on this historic Lake Michigan lighthouse. Please join us in helping to restore Waugoshance! To donate and for more details go to http://www.indiegogo.com/wlighthouse

Joshua Davis was raised in the folk tradition: the music, the social movements, the land. He writes songs that blend the roots of American music with gritty rock n’ roll and vintage soul. Performing Songwriter Magazine called the result, “Some of the liveliest and most rocking roots music around.
For over 15 years Joshua has made his living sharing his songs, stories and knowledge across the US and Canada at festivals, concert halls, coffeehouses and dives – as a solo act, front man for roots ensemble “Steppin’ In It”, classic swing band “Shout Sister Shout”, songwriter showcase band “The Starlight Six” and frequently as a workshop facilitator, presenter or instructor.
