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.
We’ve got a special Backstage edition of Roots Music Rambler dropping on Friday! Falls caught up with @shelbyloremusic to talk about his new music, journey to guitar virtuosity and more. Set a reminder to stream or download to watch and listen Friday morning.
Our backstage episodes are shorter shows where we catch up with an artist for a few minutes rather than sitting down for a full length interview. Get to know more about Shelby Lore and his band this week. In this clip, he tells us the music business is a long, hard road.
Find the episode on our YouTube channel (@rootsmusicrambler) at rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you get podcasts!

The incredibly talented singers-songwriter @only1noah is our guest on Roots Music Rambler this week. He took us through his crazy journey to stardom (which included spots on Glee, Dancing with the Stars and America’s Got Talent), his approach to songwriting, and his deeply emotional single “Heavy.”
He told us about it and how connecting with an audience through an emotionally raw song is everything to him as an artist.

One single stands out as a profound musical statement on @only1noah’s new album Oddly Flexible. The single “Heavy” is a lamentation from a heavy set person about being such. It has resonated with so many people with body image issues and has become a bit of an anthem for people dealing with everything from image to obesity issues.
Noah told us on Roots Music Rambler about writing the song. Listen to the full interview on our YouTube channel, rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you get podcasts.
