From Philadelphia, singer/songwriter/musician Leah Smith bends R&B, gospel, and pop to create her smooth, signature sound. Her long awaited debut LP, Tenderheaded, soars with wit, potency, and Smith's lilting soprano that effortlessly imbues each lyric. Smith's start in professional music began in 2007. After attending the prestigious Creative and Performing Arts High School in Philadelphia, Smith toured extensively with GRAMMY award winning gospel group, Israel and New Breed. After a decision to leave the group and move back home, Smith won the 2008 Philly Rising Open Mic competition at one of Philly's premiere music venues, World Cafe Live. As part of the winner's package, Smith earned free studio time with which she recorded her revelatory debut EP, Beautifully Made. Visibility from this genre-bending project positioned Smith to be a sought after featured artist on many Christian Hip Hop records, most notably Trip Lee's hit "Sweet Victory." After an extensive break from music, which saw Smith marrying and beginning a family, Leah Smith is thrilled to reintroduce herself to the world with her beloved, new project, Tenderheaded, available on all digital platforms.

It’s June, which means that it’s Black Music Month! The women of Truth’s Table are kicking off their Black Music Month Series and Xavier Omär joined them at the table. How does Xavier Omär want to be remembered? As a risk taker, a classic voice, an artist who blurs musical lines and fearless dreamer. And, with these big goals, the fearless dreamer. And, with these big goals, the singer-songwriter isn't wasting any time. His debut studio album, Bonfire, released on 09/02/14, was followed by his EP with Sango (Soulection) titled Hours Spent Loving You, and singles Blind Man & Hesitate. Xavier Omär takes pride in his songwriting ability and is most excited by the reward of evoking specific feelings in his listeners with his music. He draws inspiration from artists of all genres, including James Blake, Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Mumford & Sons, John Legend, Frank Ocean, The Beatles, and Sam Smith. Xavier Omär grew up as a military brat, moving across the country and as far as japan, but he claims Georgia as his home. Music balanced out the highly structured lifestyle of his military family. His mother and siblings sang and played drums and piano, and his father was a writer, producer and the minister of music at church. He wrote and produced his first song at 12 years of age, recording it in his basement on a 4 track tape recorder. A brief period of discouragement was tackled when Xavier Omär decided to audition for American Idol Season 11 in Houston, TX. Not making it past the preliminary judging round gave him the determination to save up to buy equipment and begin recording music again. So, add "proving American Idol wrong" to his list of goals. In 2012, he hit the ground running with his solo career and hasn't stopped since. Pull up a chair and have a seat with us!

Podastery took a big hit from hackers that require a total, ground up overall. New hosting, new feeds, and it's been... just the worst.
This episode of Country Squire Radio is brought to you by Missouri Meerschaum and the Tin Society. We thank them for supporting this show, and we thank you for supporting them. Episode 249: What Makes an English Blend English Welcome & Housekeeping: Cheerio lads and lasses! Just as a reminder, check out our Patreon page for details on the pipe club-exclusive deals that are going on for the pipes that Jon David brought back from Chicago! Sale runs through the end of May, so get crackin’ before I grab ‘em all! Speaking of the club, new pipe club Squire Carter Imsland joins us, as well as new Patron Mike D. Thanks guys! Also, Beau touches on the viral attack on the Podastery website...which is now back up! Stay tuned for when the archived episodes will be back up, in case you want to take a listen to the origins of the show! Topic: What makes an English Blend English? Well it’s a good thing you asked, because this week Jon David and Beau dive headfirst into this oft confusing and unclear topic! Pipe Question of the Week: Tim Houser writes in “Oh, the Black XX is the worst I’ve ever had! What’s a good rope to try? I love many English Blends and VaPers.” Quick Fire with the Squire: More from Anonymous! Zombie Apocalypse is the theme! #1 Hunker down (JD) or keep moving (Beau) #2 Firearms (JD and Beau, though Beau says both) or melee #3 Build a large group (Beau) or keep in a very tight knit. (JD) #4 Heavy vehicle (Both) or small personal transport #5 Fast zombies or slow zombies (Both) #6 Man is the real monster or no, of course zombies are the real monsters (Both) #7 Last smoke, aromatic (Beau) or english (JD) Listener Feedback: Evilosity on iTunes writes in “Binge worthy! This show has officially changed my life. I have to drop everything, every Monday night to listen live. Entertaining and as intellectual as a show from Mississippi can be. Only thing that would make it better is if they would finally give the fans what they want... BBQ pairing!!!” Doug Owen writes in “On the McClelland discussion, keep in mind those prices of those tins are at least partially a result of the level of local taxes that were levied on those tins in the state where the retailer originally purchased the tins at wholesale. In our situation, due to the 45% tax on the wholesale price of tinned tobaccos the MSRP in the state of Washington is around $35, which clearly put us at a disadvantage in terms of competing for the business against retailers from states with lower taxes. Just a thought. You should know we were attempting to sell at our current MSRP, which due to the draconian tax set up in this state put us at a fatal disadvantage.” Ending & Wrap-up: Just a friendly reminder, as there is no live show next week, there will be a podcast up as normal! Please check out the show sponsor websites to learn more about them, and please consider joining the Country Squire Radio Pipe Club. I’ve provided a link to Patreon below as well as show credits, twitter handles, websites, emails, and times. If you have not done so, please consider writing an iTunes review.

Special Guest: Chad Newell, President, Area Development Partnership Description: It's something we have that is infinite, but yet there is never enough of it, and that is time. We've got travel, dinners, work meetings, and work breakfasts. We've got to get the kids off to school and to sporting events. Finding a work life balance, especially in economic development, can be incredibly challenging.

Special Guest: Jon Maynard, President and CEO of the Oxford-Lafayette County Economic Development Foundation Description: A common saying in economic development is that community development precedes economic development. In other words, you can't have economic development occur unless the community is successful. Our special guest, Jon Maynard, will make a strong case that community development IS economic development Host: Jeff Rent Studio: Podastery Studios (twitter.com/Podastery) - http://podastery.com Learn More: MEDC - http://medc.ms/

Special Guest: Glenn McCullough, Executive Director, MS Development Authority Description: Mississippi's Governor Phil Bryant likes to say that, “Economic development is a team sport.” What this means is that by working together Mississippi is able to punch above its weight. In economic development, the state recently won the Continental Tire deal. $1.45 billion-dollar investment that will create 2,500 jobs. States across the country competed for this project. Collaboration, and that is where Mississippi excels, was one of the deciding factors and why Mississippi is a top competitor in economic development.

Special Guest: Lara Bowman, Executive Director, The Enterprise Description: Disruption or disrupt, if you look in the dictionary a number of different definitions come up. Some of the more common ones; to cause disorder or turmoil; to destroy, usually temporarily; to break apart, but in business this is one of the new buzzwords. To radically change an industry, business, strategy, etc. by introducing a new product or service that creates a new market.

Special Guest: Ron Kitchens, CEO, Southwest Partnership and Consultant Connect Description: Teamwork is what wins in economic development. Collaboration between local, community, regional and even state level partners is critical. If you can't work together your results will be less than desirable. But remember, projects begin and end locally. Host: Jeff Rent Studio: Podastery Studios (twitter.com/Podastery) - http://podastery.com Learn More: MEDC - http://medc.ms/
Special Guest: David Rumbarger, President and CEO, Community Development Foundation Description: Leadership is defined as one person inspiring another person to take a positive action.
