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.
New Jersey folk bank Jackson Pines joined Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about a new single, their music, and the path to musicianship for both Joe Makoviecki and James Black, the primary duo behind the group. They also shared some deep history about New Jersey folk music.
In this clip, Joe talks about a trip to Ireleand a few years ago that helped shape the ability of the band to entertain an audience.
