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.

Please bring a folding chair and a snack or beverage to share.

Performers:

	Mike Holliday Mike Holliday is a singer songwriter from Pottstown, PA. After a 17 year break (to focus on his family), Mike got back into the music scene in 1999. Since then, he has performed in venues, churches, and universities in PA, NJ, VA, MD, NC, NE, and OK, including Godfrey Daniels, Steel City, Burlap & Bean, and World Cafe Live (Philly). His songs cover a wide range of topics and styles. He released his third CD, "I'm Getting a Head Start" in July of 2016.
	Neal Phillips Neal Phillips writes thought-provoking and (sometimes) funny songs that have been performed by Bob Zentz, Holly and Glenn Yarbrough, Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangsen, and Pete Seeger, among others. His writing touches on matters from the global significance of stackable chairs to the life and times of Roy G. Biv; from Claude Debussy and Claude Monet dancing in the moonlight to the quiet joys of walking home on a snowy midwinter evening. Neal's songs have won the USA Songwriting Competition and the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest and have been featured on The Midnight Special, The Folk Sampler, Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes, and in Sing Out! Magazine. Neal has released ten solo CDs, most recently "Songs from My Room" (2021) and "Fireflies" (2019). He is also a member of Trifolkal, a Virginia based folk trio that recently released their "Silver" album celebrating 25 years together. Website: www.reverbnation.com/nealphillips
	Charles Steckel Charles Steckel started out covering The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar" on his sister's tennis racquet. Since then, Charles has been performing with actual guitars for audiences nationwide. While living in Tucson, Charles was honored to be among the folks chosen to record a couple of tunes for the CD, "Woodcuts: The Best Acoustic Acts You've Never Heard". He's recently had a great time making music with Fake Moon Landing, Roost, and Birch Run, and is now focused on writing and performing his own tunes. Website: charlessteckel.com
	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.
