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 drops Friday morning and this one is sooooooo good! We talk to @ismaymusic (Avery Hellman) about their documentary film “Finding Lucinda” which led to a new way of songwriting for their new album (coming in June).
The movie is a wonderful creator’s journey to understand their musical idol (Lucinda Williams) which leads to them understanding themself more. The new music coming is based on their focus on learning poetry … such a great conversation!
Be sure to head to rootsmusicrambler.com, our YouTube Channel (@rootsmusicrambler) or subscribe to the show wherever you get podcasts and don’t miss this one!
Plus, Frank and Falls talk about their favorite songwriters and have two awesome picks for the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segement.
Friday morning, y’all! Do it!

On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, Italian-American co-host @workmomtravels (Frank) is amazed that guest and @kingmargomusic’s @luccianacosta was even allowed to play dobro in bars at age 12. Hers would never have allowed it.
Fun conversation this week on the pod. Check it out on our YouTube channel (@rootsmusicrambler) website (rootsmusicrambler.com) or wherever you get podcasts!
