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:

	Bob Mecklenburger Bob Mecklenburger has been performing with his acoustic 6- and 12-string guitars for more 40 years, singing his original songs and folk songs. His clear voice, earnest presence, and fresh song-styling are reminiscent of John Denver. His music speaks of homespun values, the beauty of nature, and the importance of being true to oneself. Accomplished at flatpicking and fingerpicking guitar styles, he highlights both on his CD, "Do It!". Bob is an active member and past president of the Princeton Folk Music Society.

	Kathy Quinn Kathy Quinn is a Philly native who has enjoyed playing guitar for some untold number of decades. Thanks to the many talented mentors she has had along the way, it has been a wonderful adventure. She was glued to the radio through most of the 70's, which has shaped her musical sensibilities. She is also a longtime fan of the Grateful Dead and jam bands in general. Some songwriting influences include: Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Hunter-Garcia, Gillian Welch, Dar Williams, John Prine, Richard Thompson, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Browne. Kathy’s original songs capture many moods, from sentimental reflection to brooding rumination. In addition to playing music, Kathy is a local thespian and improv comedy artist. Since joining PASA, Kathy has been inspired by the welcoming and supportive PASA community to stretch and grow in the necessary journey of writing authentic and heartfelt songs.
