Vito Dieterle

After attending the prestigious New School Jazz
program and
freelancing around NYC, Vito began to perform weekly with his band
every Sunday at Little Branch starting in early 2005 and soon went on
to curate a 5-day a week live music program for the venue, which
immediately went on to critical acclaim and exists to this day. He has
now gone onto curate festivals and venues in New York and abroad. He is now a proud partner at Midnight Blue in the iconic Gramercy area of Manhattan where he performs regularly and curates the music programing.
Being an accomplished saxophonist, his intimate connection to the
music helped to shape the bars he has worked in and owned, leading
to a dedicated clientele and fan base. As a performer and long time
member of Ethan Lipton & his Orchestra since 2005, Vito has
performed regularly at Joe’s Pub, Barbes, Rockwood Music Hall and
countless venues in the states and abroad. He is a recipient of a
Village Voice Obie Award and is a Lucille Lortel award nominee.
