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.

What Is The Proper Way To Eat Spaghetti? (Interview Highlights)

A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops Friday. Falls interviews Louisville-based power pop band Digby which is back with its first studio album in 17 years. Three of the five members join the show which includes exclusive debuts of snippets from three new songs never before heard.

Before the big interview though, Falls and Frank talk about Francesca’s 50th birthday celebration and the proper way to serve and eat spaghetti, including one of Falls’s mother’s fun interjections.

Welcome to Roots Music Rambler!

It’s more than just their influences. It’s their families. Communities. Cultures. This show is a fun combination of music, travel, history and more. We dig into the stories from artists, musicians, songwriters, producers, fans and beyond, that don’t just expose their musical influences, but their life influences.

The Real Story Behind John Shiner Joining Digby #digby #digbymusic #digbyband #johnshiner #comeback

On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, Jason Falls sits in with three members of Digby to talk about their first album in 17 years. It’s called Happy Little Heartache and drops on March 1.

Falls asked Ben Schneider how fellow bandmate John Shiner came to the group. Shiner played fiddle, which was unusual for a pop band back in the late 1990s and still is today, though he primarily plays keyboards now.
