Philadelphia Area Songwriters Alliance

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.

For the 2023-2024 season, we have scheduled PASA House Concerts to be in person, from September to June, some outdoors and some indoors.
Indoor shows will be limited to 25 people and will require updated COVID vaccinations. All persons planning on attending should RSVP by email to officially register attendance. Please include, by name, anyone who will be attending with you. Attendance will be cut at 25.
All artists who are scheduled as featured performers during winter months should be prepared to move the show to Zoom, in case of heavy virus outbreaks or large snow events. The final decision will be made by the house concert hosts.
Please do NOT bring any alcohol; all PASA events are alcohol-free.

Performers:

Annie Donahue

Annie Donahue is a singer-songwriter from the Philadelphia area. "Annie has a natural gift for communicating feeling in music -- a deceptively simple style that allows for a powerful emotional honesty." "A fresh new voice in the folk world." (Jackie Morris, Folk Works, 2013). Annie will be performing her original songs in the genres of Folk, Gospel, and Blues.

Valerie DuPont

With rhythmic, melodic tunes, Valerie DuPont weaves together tales of loves lost and found and a range of hopes and wishes, with references to angels, Clue characters, migraine headaches, Abraham Lincoln, gardening, and Christmas strewn in between.

Andrew Pauls-Thomas

Themes of hope, sadness, and striving fill Andrew Pauls�s songwriting. Rooted in traditional American folk music, Andrew marries catchy melodies and beautiful lyrics to create clever and relatable songs. Andrew performs often in the Lancaster area and lives there with his spouse Laura. He is interested in the way music can bring people together in an increasingly divided world.

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.
