Joy Oladokun “Am I?” (LIVE) – Louisville, Ky. – 1/20/25
Joy Oladokun’s “Am I?” (full song) from her Blackbird Tour stop at Headliners Music Hall in Louisville, Ky., on Jan. 20, 2025.
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.
Joy Oladokun’s “Sweet Symphony” – Louisville – 1/20/25
Joy Oladokun’s “Sweet Symphony” from her Blackbird Tour stop at Headliners Music Hall in Louisville, Ky., January 20, 2025. She opened the show with a 45-minute solo acoustic set, then brought out the band for an amazing hour of jams.
Roots Music Rambler also features picks for new music
Did you know that one of Roots Music Rambler’s regular segments on each show is the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment. Frank and Falls pick music — maybe an artist, maybe an album, maybe a song — that is their pick to make you grin. It’s our way of recommending music.
On the latest episode (which features our chat with singer-songwriter Leah Blevins and drops Friday), Frank picked a former RMR guest (Ella Salter and the Sunday Sinners) as her Pickin’ the Grinnin’!
Listen for Falls’s pick and more at rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Happy Birthday to Falls! On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, he explained how his favorite comedian (Tom Segura) and musical artist (Joy Oladokun) are playing Louisville JUST FOR HIM this weekend.
(At least that’s what he’d like to think. Still, it’s conveniently cool.)
In addition to birthday banter, Frank and Falls interview the magnificently talented Leah Blevins and have great picks for the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment. (Episode drops tomorrow morning!)
