| 6/23/26 | ![]() John Hall: A Harmonica in Hand, Is Worth Two in the Bush | This week on Time Signatures, host Jim Ervin welcomes the founder of Bushman Harmonicas, John Hall. The birth of the rapidly growing harmonica brand began innocently enough on a summer evening in 1990, when John strolled past the legendary Slippery Noodle in downtown Indianapolis. The line launched in 1996 and over the course of the past 30 years, Hall has worked diligently to build Bushman into the number one supplier of his Knittlinger line to the Amish community.We are also pleased to announce that beginning July 1st, Time Signatures with Jim Ervin has secured an endorsement deal with the harmonica brand. We have some BIG announcements still to come.....and lots more in this episode, so come on it and enjoy!Website: https://bushmanmusic.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bushmanharmonicasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bushmanmusic/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bushmanharmonicas_________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation | — | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | ![]() The Holy Grail of Blues Bands: Melissa McKinney & MAMA | With only three episodes remaining on Season 6, host Jim Ervin welcomes first band runner up in the 2026 International Blues Challenge, Melissa McKinney. This woman of the Blues put an incredible band together to compete this year, and narrowly missed taking it all home with her. She has sold her successful music school, and she has come away from the IBC on a mission to bring her deep, soulful Blues to the masses. If you get a chance to check her and her band “Mama” out, you will not be sorry if you do.Website: https://melissamckinneymusic.com/mamaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissamckinneymusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1A5EiKAJr86zuGUlTN2oaC?si=Lae7eZ66Qj2t5H9qk8qXggYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@melissamckinneymusic_________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation | — | ||||||

This band has taken the worlds of the Blues, Roots, and Soul and turned them on their collective heads to form a completely unique Blues-related genre known as “Mem-Phunk”. From the famed Ryman Auditorium to Beale Street, this band has deep ties to music that crosses generations, and the two are here to talk about the foundations of the band, featuring Kim’s now deceased uncle, the genesis of the band’s iconic name, their 22 month run on the Top 50 Blues-Rock Album chart, their three songs from the album ‘Alive’ that were mainstays on Sirius XM’s B.B. King’s Bluesville, and their 2020 Blues Blast Award or Best Debut CD.

| 2/3/26 | ![]() Grooving With Blues Masters: Corky Siegel | The late 60's developed some of the biggest names of the Blues in Chicago. Along with Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, James Cotton and others, there was a group of young white guys that learned from these future legends, and they began making a name for themselves along the way. Corky Siegel and Jim Schwall began their musical partnership simply as, "Corky and Jim". For all the details on the rest of the story, please join host Jim Ervin as he welcomes Corky Siegel for an in depth discussion about those early days in Chicago. Siegel was also responsible for developing a sub-genre known as Chamber Blues in the late 60's as well. It's a trip back in time you do not want to miss!Website: https://www.corkymusic.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/corky.siegelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf2AXfOm_WF3Cg5l_kjJuYwSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/23p6pwi1Wf0d46jOMf9fN5?si=JsCVYB8sQZWWyu2ztzjbnQ_________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation | — | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | ![]() Eric Johanson: Deep and Dirty From the Bayou | On this edition of Time Signatures, Erv welcomes another member of the next generation of the Blues, Alexandria, Louisiana native, Eric Johanson. Eric dropped by to share stories about playing hide and seek in his grandfather's piano store, his discovery and early years in music, developing his own sound through those early years, developing a musician’s relationship with Tab Benoit, and his 2016 debut album after being signed by Tab. Eric also discussed his current project, “Live In Mississippi”, a decidedly stronger rock-infused Blues album that’s already catching attention across the genre.Website: https://www.ericjohanson.com/Facebook: facebook.com/ericjohanson504YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ericjohansonSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0mPiFtQynz01cwuBYNA87Z?si=GyJJBGd4T3SfYcFkqlPOuw_________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation | — | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | ![]() The Darkroom Blues: Capturing the Music With Robert M. Knight | Iconic Rock (and Blues) Photographer, Robert M. Knight joins host Jim Ervin as he welcomes Knight to talk about his early photographic work with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and the Yardbirds. Knight's obsession with photography led him to London at age 16, and the rest is history. He has photographed thousands of musicians in his more than half century in the business, he is a published author, he is the subject of the documentary, 'Rock Prophecies', but perhaps his biggest distinction is being the sole photographer at the Alpine Valley Music Festival on August 26, 1990 in Troy, Wisconsin. Sadly, that was the final concert of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
