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:

Rob Bruckner

After watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964 Rob Bruckner, apparently, was the only boy in America not to immediately pick up a guitar. It wasn't until 1967 when his friend showed him the intro to Secret Agent that his checkered musical career began. After a series of fits and starts he began to make progress. He decided he was going to be a Rock Star, but fell in with a bad crowd and became a biochemist. Now he has seen the error of his ways and has left science in an effort to redeem his misspent youth and middle-age. During those lost years Rob kept plugging away at his guitar. It has been only the last ten years that Rob has developed a passion for songwriting, authoring over 100 songs. Using the "I just write what the voices in my head tell me" method, he has produced songs that cover a wide range of topics and styles. With Rob you never know what will be coming next because he doesn't either.

Laura Dishong

Laura Dishong is a harpist, vocalist, and songwriter. She's appeared at the Philadelphia Flower Show as a harping Southern Belle and as a toga-clad songstress at Caesars Casino in Atlantic City, among many other venues in the Tri-State Area. She is nearing the completion of her first CD, Little Green Apples, which features 11 of her original songs for rock harp. With the help of her husband, keyboardist Mark Dishong, and her daughter, fiddler Ellie Dishong, she's ready to show you she's got some pluck!

Richard Hunt

Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, but always engaging, Richard Hunt has a rough hewn but completely genuine style of folk and blues. Playing both guitar and Dobro, the former Philadelphian is coming all the way from West Virginia. The least you can do is travel from somewhere nearby to come see him!
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.
