Closer to Chicago, Legendary Blues Musician Steve Nardella

This week, it’s a very special episode of Time Signatures as your host, Jim Ervin welcomes another legendary bluesman, Steve Nardella. Join Steve and Erv as they discuss his relocation to Michigan from the east coast in 1971-just to be closer to Chicago, the early Blues hangouts in Ann Arbor (Blind Pig, Mr. Flood’s Party, Rick’s American Cafe, etc), and his appearance in a supporting role at the 1972 Ann Arbor Blues Festival for Boogie Woogie Red, Lightnin Slim, and Johnny Shines-a recording he didn’t know anything about. Steve also talked about his 1964 or ‘65 New York trip where he saw Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, and James Cotton. Great stories about jammin’ with Stevie Ray Vaughan, and definitely an episode well worth your time.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2CfHxv1Ha614CY85E8x017 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/steve.nardella.5 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rare3P56NWo&list=PL2C46EF8DE7B9D84D_________________________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
