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.
WHEN | Saturday, February 5, 2022, 7:30 PM |
WHERE | Online, using the Zoom web conferencing system. (Zoom link will be sent to those who RSVP.) |
RSVP INFO | Please RSVP on the PASA Facebook page (preferred), or by emailing Rob at lincolnsongs@aol.com. |
Rob BrucknerAfter 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. | |
Tracy CollettoTracy Colletto has garnered favorable comparisons to Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell for her songwriting and vocal style. Her songs are "ambient, atmospheric, dream pop folk," and they have been added to playlists for many terrestrial and online radio stations, including WXPN's Sleepy Hollow. Tracy has been nominated for "Best Alt. Country Song" at the 15th Independent Music Awards, earned an Honorable Mention in the John Lennon International Songwriting Competition, listed as "One to Watch" by Nashville Songwriter Association International, and was a Finalist of the Great American Song Contest. Her acoustic folk pop tracks are rich with sentiment, personal transformation, and the will to persevere.Website: tracycollettomusic.com | |
Tim LaBorieAfter 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. Website: www.timlaborie.com | |
