A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops tomorrow! This week, we talk to Kentucky singer-songwriter @emilyannjamerson about her music, songwriting, growing up in a now well-known musical household and a lot more.
She told us her songwriting often comes from a place of sadness, even if the finished song winds up not so.
Hear more and get the Pickin’ The Grinnin’ choices from Frank and Falls Friday at rootsmusicrambler.com, on YouTube or wherever you get podcasts.
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.
