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.

Tom Segura and Joy Oladokun are playing Louisville for Jason Falls’s birthday?

Happy Birthday to Falls! On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, he explained how his favorite comedian (Tom Segura) and musical artist (Joy Oladokun) are playing Louisville JUST FOR HIM this weekend.

(At least that’s what he’d like to think. Still, it’s conveniently cool.)

In addition to birthday banter, Frank and Falls interview the magnificently talented Leah Blevins and have great picks for the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment. (Episode drops tomorrow morning!)
