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 and we are STOKED for this one! @thelocalhoneys (@lindajeanstokley and @montanafromky) joined the podcast to talk about making music, songwriting, the impact of music and a lot more.
Montana explained the two met in college at Morehead State University and have now spent years discovering common influences, preferences and styles which informs their music.

Southern rocker @the_andythomas is our guest this week on Roots Music Rambler! His debut solo album Highway Junkie dropped yesterday. The album is full of banger tunes and autobiographical stories well worth hearing.
Andy told us about writing the songs for the album which is different than how he started writing songs. He figured out it has to be about the hook!
