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.
The latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is live! Frank and Falls talk to Michigan-based country singer Rachel Brooke. Like several guests on the show, she got her start in a different genre than her current one. She was a teenage punk band drummer, of all things.
In this segment she talks about that and what that history in music has given her as her career has evolved.
Frank and Falls also talk about getting locked IN hotel rooms and watching a new music festival dedicated to celebrating black rock artists.

On Friday’s new episode of Roots Music Rambler, Michigan-based singer-songwriter Rachel Brooke talks about her new single, “The Only One,” and answers the question of whether or not that might be the sign of a new album coming. She talked to Frank and Falls about her music, her journey and her musical roots on the episode.
