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.
The amazing @melissacarpermusic is our guest on the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler. She primarily fronts her band and sets with a stand-up bass. Falls asked if she uses the bass as the basis for her songwriting.
Hear a lot more about Carper’s journey to musical success, her latest album, “A Very Carper Christmas,” her new project with @bettercaultheo and lots more on the episode, including Frank and Falls’s pickin’ the grinnin’ picks of the week.
