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.
Singer-Songwriter Leon Majcen is this week’s guest on Roots Music Rambler. The Florida-based artist got started playing and writing at an early age, but it was a secret outreach by his sister to SiriusXM that earned his first success.
Leon told the story to Frank and Falls while sharing his journey to being a singer songwriter, his new self-titled album, and his parent’s path from war-torn Bosnia to the U.S. which gave him the opportunity to be where he is now.
