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 newest episode of Roots Music Rambler drops Friday, November 22! Noah Freeman and Blake Lacy of @kindredvalley joined us to talk about their new EP, rise to prominence in 2024 and a lot more.
The Huntington, W.Va.-based indy folk group experienced a dramatic rise to prominence in the Americana music scene in 2024, going from openers to headliners supporting its first album, then a new EP called What Was Left.
In this segment, the two talk about the magic in a bottle of 2024 and the growing pains a young band experiences as they start to taste success as indy artists. The challenges included the attrition of one band member.
