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.
In case you missed it, the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is live! Frank and Falls chat with @w_t_horton from @thecreekers who takes them through the stories behind the band’s formation, viral success with “Tennessee” on TikTok, signing a big label record deal with Warner Records and a lot more.
In the intro to the episode, @thejasonfalls shares the backstory behind why it took so long for us to get the band on the show and gave @shinin_shayne his due credit.
Don’t miss the episode, gang. It’s a fun conversation with one of the founding members behind one of our favorite bands!

Not very many people know @thecreekers completely formed while in the studio recording. @w_t_horton from @thecreekers joined Roots Music Rambler this week to spin several yarns about the band. Including that first formative expansion (to include @scottsuttonmusic and @annablantonmusic) came as the result of a last-minute invitation to open for @rhondavincent13 at @renfro_valley_ent.
