  • Django Jazz Fest began in Baltimore Maryland in 2016 by guitarist Michael Joseph Harris to feature top folk, jazz, world music and bluegrass artists from all over the world who all share a deep love for the musical style originated by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in the 1930's popularly known as Gypsy jazz. 
    Feel the magic of acoustic music performed by top musicians who interact on stage with a spirit of joy and community. Experience the spontaneity of improvisation and the virtuosity of the best in the world. Sophisticated harmonies rooted in romantic classical music. Irresistible melodies that linger in your imagination set against a rhythmic fire that digs deep into the Gypsy folk music tradition and early American swing when it dominated the scene in Paris and changed every major city in the world.   

  • Our 12th annual Charm City Django Jazz Fest at Baltimore Museum of Art Auditorium on February 27th, 2027 celebrates the captivating music of Django Reinhardt and the amazing legacy of jazz guitarists who have followed in this tradition. This year we feature incredible guitarist Pasquale Grasso with Hot Club of Baltimore and a world class lineup of musicians including Dion Berardo guitarist from Greece, Dallas Vietty on accordion, Nashville violinist Eli Bishop, guitarists Michael Joseph Harris and Connor Holdridge, and bassist Blake Meister. Opening the show will be Hot Club of Baltimore with special guests from Ann Arbor, guitarist Andrew Brown and mesmerizing vocalist Katie Lynn of DJANGOPHONIQUE.

    The gorgeous Baltimore Museum of Art Auditorium is the site for the 12th Annual Charm City Django Jazz Fest. Tickets are all general admission and non-refundable. An elevator allows for easy access to seating and there are specific handicap areas for those with a wheelchair. There is a paid parking lot available and plenty of street parking as well. The area is safe and walkable convenient to nearby Charles Village. A restaurant called Gertrude's is on premises for dining and drinks before the show as long as they are not closed for a private event. Be sure to make reservations well in advance if you plan to go to the restaurant as it gets full quickly.
