Peter Cornell On The Growth Of Cornell Brothers Coffee, Working With Candlebox, Nashville & More

Entrepreneur and singer/songwriter Peter Cornell (Inflatable Soule, Black Market Radio) has a passion for 3 of life’s greatest treasures: family, music, and a really good cup of coffee. Recently opening Cornell Brothers Coffee Espresso Bar in the heart of Historic Downtown Nolensville, Tennessee, he is now sharing all 3 of his loves with the August 2021 debut of the Cornell Brothers Coffee line of coffee. With all of its store-sold varieties now available for international shipping, coffee aficionados worldwide can purchase fresh-roasted Cornell coffee and related merchandise online.

Notably, Peter Cornell’s wife and business partner in Cornell Brothers Coffee is veteran music industry executive Amy Decker, who located the espresso bar’s premises inside the Oh My Chives Natural Co-Op Market in Nolensville. Meanwhile, a portion of the proceeds from every bag of Cornell coffee beans purchased online supports Second Harvest Food Bank Of Middle Tennessee. Thus, patrons can feel good knowing that they are directly supporting both a local business and a charity organization just by enjoying some great coffee they should have been checking out anyway.

Yet Cornell Brothers Coffee is far from the only project Peter Cornell has been working on as of late. For starters, he co-wrote “Let Me Down Easy,” the first single from the new Candlebox album Wolves. This was among the topics discussed when I had the pleasure of speaking with Peter Cornell via Zoom on September 28, 2021, as embedded below.
