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.
Beyonce could score big with Cowboy Carter at next year’s Grammys, but she won’t be the first black woman to win a grammy in the country category. Falls brings a heck of a trivia question to this week’s Roots Music Rambler.
We also get a visit from the brilliant minds and sounds of the Bibelhauser Brothers. They join us to talk about new singles, albums old and new, and how they came to be rising stars in the bluegrass space.
