It Takes a Little Village to Raise the Blues

from Time Signatures with Jim Ervin

Without a doubt, the music business has dramatically changed over the past 20 years. One musician is making a difference, and he has created an outlet for other musicians who might not otherwise be recorded and heard. Legendary keyboard player Jim Pugh is the founder of The Little Village Foundation, a 501c3 recording label, and many of today’s emerging artists have come from Little Village. Jim dropped in to chat with host, Jim Ervin about his life in music, but more importantly, how The Little Village Foundation came to be, and how it continues to make its mark on today’s Blues scene.
