Guitarist Chris Cortez started a record label back in 1986 in Orlando called Blue Bamboo Music. After living in New Orleans and Houston, he and his wife moved back to Orlando two years ago and started a recording studio, gallery and performance venue in a converted warehouse in Winter Park.

We take a tour of Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts and talk with Cortez about the first year of his performance space.
