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.
A new episode of Roots Music Rambler is out and this week, we’re talking music festivals. And with the man who knows as much about them as anyone — Nate Riggs (NeighborN8) from The Music Festivals Podcast.
He shares his favorites, some hidden gems, the finances of festivals and a lot more, including his biggest concern for Americana festivals. We also ask him flat out if music festivals have jumped the shark.
