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.
On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler we talk music festivals with Nate Riggs (NeighborN8), host of The Music Festivals Podcast.
Because there are too many festivals and tickets sell out quickly, he says you almost have to just buy tickets ahead of time in blind faith that the lineup will be good. But Falls shares an example of that not working in 2025.
Riggs shares his favorites, some hidden gems, the finances of festivals and a lot more. Hear the full episode at rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
