Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Billy Branch!Billy Branch is one of the most respected and influential harmonica players of his generation — a true ambassador of Chicago Blues. Discovered by the legendary Willie Dixon, often called the “father of modern Chicago Blues,” Branch was still in college when Dixon took him under his wing. Dixon urged him to complete his degree, which he did, earning a political science degree before joining Willie Dixon's Chicago All-Stars. http://www.makingascene.org

It is our 100th episode at Time Signatures, and you cannot celebrate a landmark episode without a legendary Bluesman, like Billy Branch. Billy came up in Chicago, learning harp skills in all of the local clubs, battling with the likes of James Cotton, Willie Dixon, Carey Bell, and others. Billy joins Erv to talk about all of that, plus his first recorded single with Willie Dixon and the Chicago Blues Allstars, his longstanding Blues in the Schools work (some 46 years!), forming the Sons of Blues and playing as the first band to play at the legendary Rosa's Lounge. In addition to all of that, Billy is about to celebrate the release of his new album, the first on the Rosa's Lounge Record label, and he recently was named as a recipient of the prestigious Taproot Fellowship for his lifelong work in the Blues. This is a wonderful episode you do not want to miss, as it is full of great stories, and Billy is just an amazing guest, and Blues Ambassador.

Episode 98 has arrived, It's another home run discussion on ‘Time Signatures with Jim Ervin' as Erv welcomes a member of the next generation of the Blues, 18 year old Harrell ‘Young Rell' Davenport. Rell has been on an absolute tear, wowing crowds in Chicago, Mississippi, and across the pond in Norway and other stops in Europe with his deep passion for those old school Blues. Billy Branch said he has never seen anyone his age deliver the Blues in the traditional fashion in his 46 years of working in the Blues in the Schools program. Yet, despite his deep skillset as a musician, Rell is humble and displays a hunger to deliver his best work to those who would have him. You are absolutely going to want to keep an eye on this young man as he continues to make his presence known in the world of the Blues!Website: https://youngrell.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/harrell.davenport.1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@youngrellblues Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6iB5eOcGNGZoSMwTUjsEPf?si=bvGPeGW4SZOG1FxTwa5bdA _________________________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

Tiempos de Radio, tu podcast de música favorito, presenta entrevistas por partida doble a la banda limeña Red Crusher y al solista argentino radicado en Italia, Gabriel Delta. Red Crusher es una banda de música formada en El Agustino, Lima, Perú en el año 2020. La banda se compone de Johany Santiago como voz principal, Stuart Luna en la primera guitarra, John Ayon en la batería, Renzo León en la segunda guitarra, y Gabriel Acevedo en el bajo. Su estilo musical abarca géneros como post hardcore, nu metal y rock alternativo. El grupo tiene como objetivo revitalizar la escena rockera y metalera local, experimentando con melodías modernas y sintetizadores. En 2024, Red Crusher lanzó su primer álbum titulado "Esta Noche", que incluye diez canciones con temáticas variadas entre sociales, superación y desamor. La banda aspira a proyectarse internacionalmente y seguir contribuyendo a la escena musical local y más allá. Por otro lado, Gabriel Delta es un guitarrista, cantante y compositor argentino que, con pasión y talento, ha labrado su nombre en distintos continentes. A lo largo de más de tres décadas, ha tejido una rica trama de sonido, conectando sin problemas el corazón del Mississippi con los ritmos vibrantes de África y América Latina. Nacido en Buenos Aires, el idilio con la música comenzó a los diez años cuando sus padres le entregaron su primera guitarra. Profundamente influenciado por el legendario B.B. King durante su juventud en Buenos Aires, emergió en 1988 en la competitiva escena musical argentina. En 2003 se trasladó a Italia, convirtiéndose en ciudadano de Europa y manteniendo su carrera bicontinental, compartiendo escenarios, sesiones y festivales con leyendas como B.B. King, Taj Mahal, James Cotton, Larry McCray, Billy Branch, Melvin Taylor y muchos otros. La atracción que genera su música va más allá de lo auditivo: su compromiso con causas sociales subraya que la música es un medio para la acción y el cambio, no solo simple entretenimiento. Gabriel Delta no es solo un músico; es un explorador, un narrador y un guardián del blues. Sus cuerdas de guitarra resuenan con lecciones aprendidas de la vida, donde cada acorde cuenta una historia, cada riff pinta un cuadro y la música se convierte en un lenguaje universal que conecta corazones alrededor del mundo. ¡No te pierdas esta doble dosis de rock en Tiempos de Radio! #TiemposDeRadio #Podcast #música #Entrevista #Novedades #rock #blus #Lima #Perú #BuenosAires #Argentina #Italia #Enrockeradas #RedCrusher #GabrielDelta 🎶 Suscríbete, comparte y comenta.

On the first day recording Times Have Changed – the eleven-track album from Chicago bluesman Ronnie Baker Brooks that brings a sound so big it could topple a Louisiana juke joint – industry-revered album producer and drummer Steve Jordan told Brooks to put his pedal board back in the van. For the first time in his professional life, Brooks, the son of Texas and Chicago blues legend Lonnie “Guitar Jr.” Brooks, would plug a Gibson into TKTK amp and rip it straight from there. “Back to the basics. The pedals get in the way of your tone – your natural tone. Any distortion I had came straight out of the amp,” Brooks remembers from the Times sessions. “It was almost like going to college, or grad school. It was definitely an education.” Brooks, 49, likes to treat each album he makes as a platform for him to grow, but the reality is that he's been climbing the blues world's latter all his life. He was born in Chicago, and started playing guitar around age six. At 19, he joined his father, who by then had influenced some of the most well-known bluesman of our history: Jimmy Reed, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Johnny Winter, and Junior Wells. For 12 years the two would tour together, putting Ronnie out front with Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Koko Taylor. In 1998, when he was 32, his father told him to go solo. Baker already had a band by then, one he'd been touring on the side with since 1992. But by 1998 he'd started a label; that year he made his first album, Golddigger, 16 songs tracked out in two weeks. “My dad always said to keep writing, even if you don't think the song sounds great or you can't finish it,” says Baker. “Write. Continue to write. The more you write, the better you get.” Take Me Witcha came three years later; his second album on Watchdog Records. Brooks broke out as his own champion on 2006's The Torch. The Boston Herald called it “ferocious and unrelenting … the year's best blues album.” In the ten years since The Torch, Brooks has started a family, toured North America and Europe, and taken feature spots on the records of other bluesmen. He produced Eddy Clearwater's West Side Strut and contributed guitar work to albums from Elvin Bishop, the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Review, Billy Branch, and Big Head Todd. Times Have Changed, Brooks' first album in ten years, carries with it the weight of grown perspective and time spent perfecting old material. Brooks worked it with Steve Jordan, whose work runs from Keith Richard to Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and Eric Clapton. With that comes a lesson in rhythm and blues history. Brooks refers to the director as “a walking encyclopedia of music detail and equipment,” a professor through which Brooks could take that next developmental step. “Once we got the ball rolling, my confidence went higher and higher,” he says. “I'm a better musician for this experience.” The experience Brooks is talking about is that which came together over the course of a few weeks at Royal Studios in Memphis, the home of Al Green, Syl Johnson, Bobby “Blue” Bland, and O.V. Wright, whose 1974 hit “Blind, Crippled, and Crazy” gets a facelift on Times Have Changed. Jordan and Brooks brought in a mint press of Memphis music royalty: Stax Records staple Steve Cropper (Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave), Archie Turner (Al Green, Syl Johnson, O.V. Wright), jazz saxophonist Lannie McMillan, and R&B icon Angie Stone. “We used the same mics that Al Green used on his record,” says Brooks. “Matter of fact, we were using much of the same band! It kind of took that vibe.” The first track recorded was a cover of Curtis Mayfield's Superfly hit “Give Me Your Love.” The second, “Twine Time,” the instrumental jam from Alvin Cash. “To be honest with you, when Steve said ‘Man, we need an instrumental,' the first person I thought of was Freddie King. Steve wanted something more appealing to all people, not just guitar players. He said ‘What about ‘Twine...

For twenty two years The Headcutters have been building their own blues scene in and around the sunny beach town of Itajaí in the state of Santa Catarina. They looked and sounded quite incongruous in their suits, with their vintage amps and guitars, singing 50s Chicago Blues music in English-- but they persevered and by the end of the show everyone loved them. Along the way they have toured in Argentina, all across Brazil and even came to the US-- I loved their tour movie "Walkin' in USA" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aKEf...). They have backed great blues artists such as Billy Branch, Kim Wilson, Mud Morganfield, Eddie C Campbell, James Wheeler, Wallace Coleman, Omar Coleman, and bassist Bob Stroger, with whom they appear on the upcoming Delmark CD "That's My Name". Just don't call Joe Marhoffer and Ricardo Maca of The Headcutters bluesmen! In Joe's words "we are just four white guys from Brazil, and we could never call ourselves a bluesman-- that belongs to the African American greats who are the owners of this music.." Take a blues journey with No Border Blues, the only blues podcast focused on international blues artists and hidden blues scenes around the world. Delmark recording artist Johnny Burgin and producer Stephanie Tice shine a spotlight on notable international blues performers, discuss the blues scenes in their home countries, and present intimate and exclusive musical performances.

Today's show features music performed by Billy Branch and Stevie Ray Vaughan

Kate interviews Conrad Real, well-known percussionist. To watch Seattle musician, Conrad Real, work the drum kit is to experience your own eyes bulging. Real, who performs regularly with the Grammy-winning hip-hop trio, Digable Planets, as well as, with the beloved Emerald City funk quartet, Down North, is known by many around his hometown as “Superman,” both for the sculpted physique under his blue t-shirt & for the locomotive-paced, laser beam-precise playing he brings to prominent shows. Real collaborates regularly with other significant musical artists. He's shared stages with Andrew Gouche, Kamasi Washington, Billy Branch, Federico Malaman, Hadrian Feraud, Tom Browne, The Temptations' G.C. Cameron and many others. I met Conrad in 2015, when he was DJing at a popular Kirkland pub for Karaoke night. I have to thank him, -- if you are a parent – you know how hard it is to get “cool credit” with your Kids and my son was definitely impressed when I told him I had met Conrad Real. Tune in for an upbeat & inspiring show!

We're in a festive mood in the 280th Roadhouse. I took the show on the road this week to the 26th annual IH Mississippi Valley Blues Festival in Davenport, IA. Tight to the banks of the Mississippi, it's one of the longest-running and most well-respected festivals in the country. Bernard Allison, Ana Popovic, Billy Branch, Hubert Sumlin, and Legendary Rhythm & Blues Revue fill the 280th Roadhouse with festival music. It's blues you've probably heard, but it's still an hour of undoubtedly fine music - the 280th Roadhouse.

The nominations for the 2010 Blues Music Awards lead us into a year-end review of the blues in Roadhouse 251. The Mannish Boys, Monkeyjunk, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Billy Branch, and Ruthie Foster help us split the time between BMA nominees and holiday blues music. It's another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 251st Roadhouse.
