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 tomorrow morning and this week we’re talking to @crossroadsacousticfest founder Shawn Busby. This year’s event is April 24-25 in Seymour, Indiana. Frank attended last year. Both Frank and Falls are attending this year and you should, too!
Shawn told us why artists really like coming to Crossroads Acoustic Fest during the episode. BUT!!!! He also shared an exclusive discount off tickets, too. You have to listen to get it, but you can save if you’re coming!
Frank and Falls also talk about “Bitin’ List” being Country Song of the Year and share great Pickin’ the Grinnin’ recommendations.
Listen to the full episode tomorrow on the Roots Music Rambler YouTube channel (@rootsmusicrambler), at rootsmusicrambler.com, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
