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.
Aaron Perlut of Atomic Junction wrote a song about the first time his father had sex on the band’s new album. For realz. He told us that story and a lot more on the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler.
Frank and Falls also talk about the Tyler Childers Mule Pull Tour, Shooter Jennings’ big Father’s Day news and a lot more on the show.
