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.
It’s about time for a new episode of Roots Music Rambler. The next one drops Friday and Frank and Falls welcome singer-songwriter Leon Majcen. His new album dropped late last month and he’s tearing up the road in support of it.
Frank and Falls also pay tribute to their early music teachers as Frank turns the corner on summertime as a teacher herself.
