He spent more than 17 years as drummer for Legendary Rock & Roll artist, Little Richard, before being courted by Kid Andersen for Rick Estrin & the Nightcats. This week on Time Signatures, we have the honor of welcoming a Legendary musician in his own right, Derrick “D’Mar” Martin for a candid discussion about his early life in music, what it was like to work with Little Richard, and his current stint with Rick Estrin & the Nightcats. There is lots more in this interview, including a little video of how off stage fun with the audience, so pull up a chair, grab some popcorn and enjoy the visit with D’Mar!

Welcome to our long awaited episode number 1-5-0!!!!! Just about one year ago, we marked our 100th, and this week on Time Signatures, Erv is celebrating his latest milestone with a true Chicago legend and Blues historian, Dick Shurman. Dick’s pedigree is something to behold, and he and Erv dive deep into his rich history of the genre and his involvement in its evolution. Dick calls himself a Blues fan who had some good fortune along the way (paraphrasing), and you will enjoy this episode!
