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.
On the latest episode of Roots Music Ramber, Kaia Kater talks about her new album Strange Medicine and its single The Witch. Kater said it aligns with the theme of aggressive revenge-on-men songs of other artists, but takes its inspiration from history like The Salem Witch trials.
