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":"Diunna Greenleaf: The Mercy & Gospel of Blues","slug":"diunna-greenleaf-the-mercy-gospel-of-blues","published_at":"2026-02-17T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/time-signatures-with-jim-ervin-6325365/diunna-greenleaf-the-mercy-gospel-of-blues","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/0f2ba672-8781-4d8f-a49e-2d921a4b45d0.mp3","summary":"The Peoples' Queen of Blues and Little Village Foundation artist, Diunna Greenleaf joins host Jim Ervin this week on Time Signatures.
