Lars and In Charge plays high energy Turkish and Greek influenced dance music. Led by violinist and vocalist Lars Tergis, the group has played headlined shows from San Francisco's historic Golden Gate Park Bandshell, to Berkeley's Starry Plough nightclub and El Sobrante Stroll to San Francisco's Summer of Music. The band's infectious performances regularly turn into dance parties, with audiences breaking into traditional dances, or just improvising their own. In addition to Tergis the acoustic-based band features percussion master Faisal Zedan, guitarist Chris Reid, clarinetist Greg Jenkins, upright bassist Joe Rosato Jr. and percussionist Sean Tergis. The group is known for its live shows, and often backs some of the Bay Area's top belly dancers.
