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. Falls sits in with Louisville’s own Digby which is back with a new studio album for the first time in 17 years. Happy Little Heartache drops March 1.

Also among the topics Frank and Falls discuss is the proper Italian way to serve and eat spaghetti? Falls shares an interesting habit of his mother (who is not Italian) with Francesca (who is).
