Time Signatures, hosted by Jim Ervin, features conversations with musicians, industry professionals, and others connected to the blues genre. Primarily focused on the blues, the program occasionally delves into other linked genres (ie. jazz, rock, soul, funk). Many of the episodes are recorded before a live audience at various venues in and around Mid-Michigan. The program is presented by the Lansing's Capital Area Blues Society, a non-profit blues organization dedicated to the promotion of, preservation of, and education about the blues. This is also the main goal of Time Signatures; acting as a digital time capsule, capturing moments in time, and providing a platform for future generations to hear the voices of those who have etched their own “signature” into the blues.

Keeping the Blues Alive by Honoring the Dead With Steven Salter
For some people, ‘Keeping the Blues Alive’ is about the music. Whether it’s preserving various aspects of the Blues, musical instruments, or just the stories that get passed from generation to generation, each are uniquely important. For Steven Salter, Keeping the Blues Alive means making sure that no Blues musician rests in an unmarked grave. Join host Jim Ervin as he and Steven talk about The Killer Blues Headstone Project, a federally registered 501(c)(3) organization, and their mission to place headstones on every unmarked Blues musician’s grave. This is one episode you cannot miss!

The Legendary 'Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin!
The legendary ‘Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin drops by on this episode of Time Signatures for a fantastic discussion about life with Muddy Waters (1973-1980), his 7 a.m. jam with Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Muddy and others, and the guitar he purchased and used on the 1975 Muddy Waters Woodstock Album… a guitar he still uses and plays today. Truly one of the best, and the interview is most assuredly one of a kind.
