PASA House Concert Series

One of the longest running house concert series in the Philadelphia Area, for more than 20 years, PASA has presented its members in a true house concert setting. Since its creation by Rob Lincoln in 2000, more than 150 different performers have performed as a co-headliner.

Each concert features three PASA members as co-headliners, plus 8 to 12 "Open Chair" performers. Anyone who wants to play an original song can be an Open Chair performer. These shows are in round robin format, one song at a time and the Open Chair slots not only begin the show but also occur at the end of every round. There are usually seven rounds with an intermission in the middle.

Performers:

Cubizm

CubiZm is a Philadelphia-based band. They have been playing in Pennsylvania and New Jersey listening venues, such as The Living Room, The Tin Angel, and University of Pennsylvania's Rotunda, since 1996. Heidi Wolfson, Art Cohen, and Steve Lessick bring acoustic and electric guitars, drums, and vocal harmonies together in a way that showcases their original songs. Heidi Wolfson's songs are thought-provoking and literate, and she delivers them with intensity. Guitarist Art Cohen, known widely in international space-music circles, adds texture and edge which gives the group its Cubist feel. Steve Lessick's tasteful drumming and beautiful vocal harmonies smooth out the sound with polish. From a whisper to a roar, the music of CubiZm is always compelling. CubiZm has recently released their third CD, Grays in the Rain. It is available on itunes, Apple Music, CD-Baby, and Amazon.

Tim LaBorie

After Tim LaBorie heard Dylan perform in 1964 he went to a pawnshop and bought a guitar. With his musical roots in early folk, blues, and old time country music, Tim evolved into writing songs and playing his own music. His songs are sometimes deeply personal, always good storytelling, and they are honest and true to human emotion.
Over the past several years he has been spending half his life in northern Nova Scotia where, with a new group of musician friends, he plays community halls and farmers' markets.
At the beginning of the COVID lockdown Tim knew he needed a project and began recording his third album, this one in his home studio. The professionally mastered album "Just Where You Are" was released in 2021.

Van Wolf

Second-generation Philly punk rocker, Evan Hoskins was raised on a strict diet of grammar and rock and roll. From an early age, Evan was taught the ways of the guitar. At 13, however, tragedy struck. Evan disappeared in the night with the message, "Taken by wolves," scrawled on his bedroom wall. For years, Evan was not seen nor heard, until 2013, when Van Wolf emerged from the wilderness with a new batch of songs and the wildness and ferocity of an untamed beast. Hear him howl. Hear him play.
You: The fourth performer can be YOU! The first eight (or so) performers to sign up at the show will sing one original song as part of the concert. This is an extra special OPEN STAGE SHOWCASE OPPORTUNITY, so bring along any instruments you'll want to play. The first people to arrive get to sign up first. The open stage slots often fill up, so come early to get a slot.
