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! This week, we sit in with Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary to talk about songwriting, his most recent album, coming of age in New York in the 1990s and more.
In this clip, Mark talks about the notion of “finding your voice” as an artist which he says comes through lived experience.
