Joy Oladokun – “Rocketman” (clip) – Louisville, Ky. – 1/20/25

Joy Oladokun covered Elton John’s “Rocketman” in her Blackbird Tour stop in Louisville, Ky., at Headliners Music Hall on January 20, 2025. Here’s a short clip of that.

The show featured Joy as her own opener, with a 45-minute acoustic set before a break and the full band. It was an early stop on the new tour and a fantastic show!

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.

Tom Segura and Joy Oladokun are playing Louisville for Jason Falls’s birthday?

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!)
