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 is readying for Friday. This week our guest is the funny and thought-provoking singer-songwriter @nathan.evans.fox who talks to us about everything from gourds to exorcisms … not to mention his new album, Heirloom.
But in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment, Frank raved about an Instagrammer she found that just lights her up every time she sees his content. She says to check out @metroman_official on the IGs!
Set a reminder to watch and listen to the entire episode! It drops Friday morning on YouTube, at rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.
