Welcome to Red Sky Stage!

Our Brand New 1912 Piano

Red Sky Stage is growing!  We have hosted a strings jam session that is overflowing with participants and talent and added a jazz jam session that is off to a frolicking start.  We have staged a variety show,  completed our first concert series and launched our second. We have scheduled a play, an Earth Day celebration and several benefit concerts.  Our Internet radio station has a thriving live morning show,  recorded features, news, events and arts and plenty of local music.  And we have improved our stage and added a vintage acoustic upright grand piano. We still have much more to come in the near future as we create an informal, coffee house style, venue for the performing arts right here in beautiful Downtown Petoskey.

We invite you to keep track of our progress here as well as on Facebook, Twitter and our Blog, Northern Michigan Art (which covers both the performing and the visual arts).  Better yet, come see us at 445 E Mitchell St in Downtown Petoskey's historic Gaslight District.
 

Blissfest Jam Session

The Bliss Fest Jam Session is Back!

We have resurrected the Bliss Fest Jam Session that was a favorite gathering at the Grain Train until both the Grain Train and the Jam Session got too popular and crowded to co-exist.  The reborn acoustic string improv session now takes place at Red Sky Stage now takes place every Sunday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00.  (We originally planned it to end at 3:00 but the first time we tried it everybody refused to stop playing at 3:00)

Bring your guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica, kazoo, washboard, penny whistle or whatever you play and join in the fun.  If you don't play an instrument but you love music, come in anyway and listen or sing along.

All experience (and inexperience) levels are welcome.  This is a very friendly and supportive group.  If you think you need to practice before you participate, come by and practice with the rest of us.

Bring in one of these and get a ticket to a future performance!

We are building our stage, wiring up some lights and speakers and searching the North Woods and beyond for the best performing artists around.  We are even printing up some hats and t-shirts, getting ready for you to come in and enjoy the show, bu t . . .

We need chairs for all Petoskey to sit on and enjoy our great entertainment.

So, bring in a chair and we will give you a ticket!

That's right, bring a clean chair in reasonable condition to the Northern Michigan Artists Market any day from 10 am to 5 pm and we will give you a voucher you can redeem for one advance sale ticket to a Red Sky Stage event of your choice.  Act fast!  Offer ends when we  have all the chairs we need.  Thanks for your help.

 

Chair Raising Update

A giant thank you to Staffords Hospitality,  Leo's Sports Bar and Ciao Bella!  for their generous donations of chairs!  We really appreciate the individual chair raising donations we have had from several of you.  These large chair contributions have brought us much closer to being able to schedule concerts.  So thanks again Dave Marvin, Richard Smith, Craig Bell and your landmark Petoskey businesses for helping out the new kid on the block. 

But please don't stop now.  We still need more chairs!
