EPISODE DROP! A new Roots Music Rambler dropped this morning on YouTube and wherever you get podcasts. This week, we learn the rough-and-tumble journey of singer-songwriter @dakotarayparker. His full-time transition into music happened after a change of ownership at a job he loved … and then didn’t.
Plus hear Frank and Falls’s Pickin’ The Grinnin’ recommendations for the week which include @johncalvinabney and @thewildmans.

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.
