Come dance to the exciting music of Édessa, one of the Bay Area’s premier Balkan dance bands.
Dance on our spacious sprung wood floor. Lots of free parking. Please consider bringing refreshments to share.
Édessa is comprised of musicians who have devoted decades to the study and performance of the rich cultural expression of the southern Balkans, with music from Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Armenia, Turkey, and Balkan Roma (Gypsy). Édessa is George Chittenden on clarinet, gaida (bagpipe), zurna (shawm), and guitar, Lise Liepman on santouri (hammered dulcimer) and accordion, Ari Langer on violin, Sean Tergis on percussion, and bassist Paul Brown.
