July 16, 2024 (Paso Robles, CA) - Between San Francisco and Los Angeles and nestled amidst the oak trees and vineyards, LIBRETTO Jazz club and listening room in the heart of downtown Paso Robles is the latest must-stop for top musical talent touring the West Coast. Built on a unique membership-driven model and drawing an impressive upcoming slate of globally renowned performers including Grammy-winning artists through 2024, LIBRETTO offers an intimate experience in wine country for Jazz fans.

Founded and run by Paso Robles native Corey Jordan, LIBRETTO sits in the heart of downtown Paso Robles, one of the hottest tourist and wine country destinations on the West Coast. 

“Our main focus at Libretto is the performance aspect of the business,” Jordan said.  “In curating a world class musical experience you would normally find only in concert halls with thousands of people, our intimate setting places you among friends in the middle of wine country.”

LIBRETTO is founded on a unique business model - one supported by members. The 62-seat Jazz club and listening room is based on a members-only subscription-model club that caters to the local community during the week but, on the weekends, opens into a public ticketed club with top acts touring the West Coast.

LIBRETTO members receive four comped entries to every show, and receive complimentary corkage on wines they bring in to enjoy. True to wine country, LIBRETTO members also receive a private “locker” and are invited to exclusive weekly "member nights” including a social hour for community members. From the club’s opening in 2021, membership has reached capacity with a waiting list. 

“The Paso Robles community has continued to level up over the years, and with the elevated wine and food culture, I realized we were missing a music venue that could provide that same level of excellence,” said Jordan. “The wine, the food, the music, the arts in general all harmonize and create an incredible atmosphere for the community, the locals and tourists alike.”

An accomplished pianist and audio engineer, Jordan left to study in Los Angeles in 2008 and work in production. He and his wife Kate returned to Paso Robles a decade later in 2018. To share his talent, Jordan started hosting house concerts and quickly realized the opportunity to elevate the cultural arts landscape along the Central Coast. His background as a musician and pianist along with his professional network lead him to the purchase of a state-of-the-art Steinway & Sons 9-foot concert grand piano, enticing the world’s best pianists. 

Jordan attributes the success of LIBRETTO to a combination of things, including the location, incredible restaurant and wine community, which have collectively created one of the most popular tourist destinations in California, especially for wine and food aficionados. Jordan added, “Having worked alongside some amazing vintners, I have the utmost respect and reverence for the industry as a whole.  Chef's, winemakers, and musicians are all artists.”
