Pardon My Art - Unlocking the Business of Creativity
Josh Smith - Artistic Renaissance: From Pages to Stages - 023
Today’s guest is Josh Smith, a poet, curator of culture, and a performance artist. I’ve known Josh since he was a child and worked with his dad in the music business in the mid-90s. Josh was a deep thinker and a precocious person as a child, and watching him grow up I saw him turn that energy into being a poet, and writer with a few books that he’s published, but it was incredible to find out that he is now organizing musical showcase events.
Josh has created The County Jawn a curated concert series that spotlights independent artists while supporting the economic growth of local businesses in Delaware County, PA. I had the privilege of being in the front row at one of his latest events, and let me tell you, I feel like we should have paid Beyonce and Taylor Swift ticket prices to have access to the talent that Josh assembled. A good man with an incredible passion for the arts, it was a pleasure chatting with Josh about where he’s been and where he’s going.
