Beau Django is sweet, upbeat, Gypsy heat with a fresh new take. Playing an extensive repertoire focusing on the music of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and The Hot Club of France, Beau Django incorporates their collective knowledge of other styles and sounds to bring a new flavor to this great tradition. Now in its second incarnation, Beau Django features guitar virtuoso Andre Riege and young mandolin prodigy Bryce Milano, along with group founder, Jon Dichter on vocals & rhythm guitar. 

Andre Riege began playing guitar at age 15 and quickly excelled in classical and rock repertoire and technique. Incorporating jazz and classical arrangement sensibilities, Riege brings a sophistication to gypsy jazz that has been seldom heard or explored. Andre has toured and played with many top notch contemporary players including Joey DeFrancesco and Charles Earland and Sister Sledge.  

Bryce Milano, now 15, has been playing the mandolin since the age of 9. With the rhythmic drive of bluegrass and eastern European influences, bright sound of the mandolin, and refined melodic sensibility, Bryce adds that extra kick to the music that keeps people wanting more. Bryce has performed nationally with notables such as David Grisman, Darol Anger, Chris Thile, Mike Marshall, Tim O'Brien,  Stephane Wrembel & Christian Howes.

Jon Dichter has been at the center of the guitar and folk music scene in Philadelphia writing and performing folk and acoustic music around the United States and Europe.

This is Beau Django. That's 'Beautiful Django' in any language.
