Red Tail Ring is an American folk duo composed of Michigan-based artists Michael Beauchamp and Laurel Premo. Since their formation in 2009, the pair have garnered acclaim for their unique blend of original compositions and interpretations of old ballads and dance tunes from the Southeastern mountain region. Their music is characterized by the melding of their voices with the rich sounds of guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin, creating an evocative and haunting Americana soundscape.

The duo’s discography is a testament to their dedication to both the preservation and innovative evolution of folk music. With releases such as "Fall Away Blues" and "The Heart's Swift Foot," Red Tail Ring have explored the contours of folk and roots music, balancing traditional forms with modern sensibilities. Their work is marked by intricate melodies, deep harmonies, and a compelling narrative quality that breathes new life into the American folk tradition. "The New Roots Exchange, Vol. I," a collaborative effort, as well as "I. Middlewest Chant," "II. Mountain Shout," and the "August Roads - EP," further showcase Red Tail Ring's commitment to fusing the old with the new, creating a sound that is at once timeless and refreshingly contemporary.
