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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T08:18:19.977972+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-signatures-with-jim-ervin-6325365"},"episode":{"title":"Acoustic Wonder Boy: Jontavious Willis","slug":"acoustic-wonder-boy-jontavious-willis","published_at":"2026-02-24T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-signatures-with-jim-ervin-6325365/acoustic-wonder-boy-jontavious-willis","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-signatures-with-jim-ervin-6325365","url":"https://time-signatures.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://pdcn.co/e/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/319f46dc-2dbe-4577-b431-02d0cb349287.mp3","summary":"As Season six rolls onward, we are pleased to welcome another member of the NEXT generation of the Blues, Grammy nominated musician, Mr. Jontavious Willis.
