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.
This week on @rootsmusicrambler Shawn Busby from the @crossroadsacousticfest festival joins us to talk about his big event coming up on April 24-25 in Seymour, Indiana. We talked about the history of the event, how he books great acts and more.
We jumped at the opportunity to recommend previous Roots Music Rambler guests for Shawn to invite. Fortunately for his credibility, he had already booked our friend @emilyannjamerson. Ha!
