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 and the fabulous @emilyscottrobinson joins us to talk about her brand new album Appalachia (also drops tomorrow) and all kinds of other things.
She told us she got her love of folk music and singer-songwriters at a summer camp during “Mellow Time.” That tracks.
Hear more about her journey to being a musician, working with the @ohboyrecords team and all sorts of background on her new album tomorrow!
