Our year-ender for 2025 is live at rootsmusicrambler.com, on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts! As a special bonus, we share my backstage interview with Ashton Bowling and Allen Hacker from The Creekers from last month.
Here’s a little snippet of that for ya.
In the full episode, Frank and I run down our top new artists, songs, albums and concert events of the year!

Chicagoan Francesca Folinazzo (Frank) founded Roots Music Rambler as a music and travel blog in a pre-pandemic world. COVID killed events and travel plus her desire to play her banjo. Falls texted her in 2023 and said, 'Let's bring it back as a podcast!' He was raised on John Prine, babysat on Waylon Jennings and taught to drink and cuss the proper, mountain way. He hails from Pikeville, Ky., the birthplace of Dwight Yoakum, whose annual festival is Hillbilly Days.
