Playing Without a Net: Corey Jordan on Risk, Resonance, and Renaissance in Taking a Coffee Shop to a Conservatory – Libretto in Full Bloom

Published 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down at the LoBro Studios at Timbre with musician, curator, and Paso Robles native Corey Jordan, co-founder of Libretto Paso, the one-of-a-kind wine and jazz club making serious noise on the Central Coast.

Corey isn’t just talking chords and concerts, he’s building legacy. We go deep on the upcoming May 22 fundraiser for the Libretto Conservatory, a music education program that’s bringing Grammy-level mentorship to young musicians across SLO County, completely tuition-free.

We talk about:

  • Turning a coffee shop piano into a community movement
  • What it’s like to jam with a classical cellist and a metal drummer
  • Why he bought a world-class Steinway instead of a liquor license
  • What he’d tattoo on his arm (spoiler: it’s a chord in E♭)
  • The sound he’s chasing and the community he’s building

Support the cause. Hear the music. Join the movement.
