Lars and In Charge

Lars and In Charge bring high-energy Balkan fire to The Deluxe — a Bay Area ensemble playing driving, celebratory traditional and original music from Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, and beyond. Bandleader Lars Tergis leads on violin and vocals alongside Gregory Masaki Jenkins on clarinet, Chris Reid/Gopal Slavonic on guitar, Joe Rosato Jr. on upright bass, and Faisal Zidan and Sean Tergis on percussion — derbekki, riqq, and davul — delivering the kind of irresistible, rhythm-driven party music that keeps dancers moving all night long.
