Where there are people, there is music. In our celebration of melodies and lyrics, harmonies and riffs, we typically focus on the songs or the people who wrote them. We often overlook the where.
Join Francesca and Falls for Roots Music Rambler, a podcast exploration of the where as much as the who or what. We’ll interview emerging and established artists, fans and others in Americana, Outlaw Country, Bluegrass, Blues, Roots, Soul, World and beyond. But we will always get to the stories of where they’re from and how that impacted the music we know and love.
It’s more than just their influences. It’s their families. Communities. Cultures. This show is a fun combination of music, travel, history and more. We dig into the stories from artists, musicians, songwriters, producers, fans and beyond, that don’t just expose their musical influences, but their life influences.
Music follows the path of human movement. We trace the steps to bring better understanding to what we hear today and why we love it.

Resurrected Corduroy Brown rising with feel-good Appalachian rock
Corduroy Brown was so ill with COVID during the pandemic, he was airlifted from Huntington, W.Va., to more advanced medical facilities in Morgantown. During the helicopter ride, he died.
Fortunately, quick work from the EMTs revived him. He survived and experienced something most people don’t: A glimpse of what’s on the other side. It changed his outlook on life and his music, which has taken off since.
Brown released a gripping and powerful solo album called Let Me Know in 2021 after he fully recovered. It has propelled him from small gigs to opening for headline acts like Everclear and Hoobastank, as well as some headline and featured spots at some nice music festivals throughout the region.
Brown joined us on Roots Music Rambler to talk about his path to music, his actual death experience, how that changed his music and what’s next. (Hint: New album news nested in this episodes!) Needless to say, we all left the conversation excited about Corduroy Brown, what’s to come, and life in general.
Frank also grilled Falls on his lucky selection to Tyler Childers’ secret pop-up concert at Dinosaur World in July, and both share their pics for new music recommendations in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment.
