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.
It’s not often Rolling Stone compares a singer-songwriter to John Prine. But they did just that when they heard “Steelhead Trout” by Margo Cilker. The Oregon-based artist’s first two albums have turned her into an emerging star in the Americana music scene.
She joined Roots Music Rambler recently to talk about her rise to fame, her songwriting, touring with the likes of Hayes Carll, Drive-By Truckers and American Aquarium and a lot more.
In this segment, Cilker talks about her song Tehachapy and other inspirations in her music.
On the full episode, Falls also talks about his new favorite TikTok account (@rockabuyrecords) and its protagonist (Dean) who is Falls’s new hero. Falls also shares his first take on Dwight Yoakam’s new album Brighter Days.

Brace yourselves! The one and only Margo Cilker is our guest on Roots Music Rambler this week. She joined the show to talk about her meteoric rise to stardom in the last few years, her songwriting and more.
