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.

NOTE: Doors open 30 minutes before concert start time. Please arrive early so we can start on time!

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

	Night Ride Home Night Ride Home is the singer-songwriter duo Brian Huff and Mary DeAngelis. Their music reflects a human-centered perspective, grounded in empathy, introspection, and lived experience. Some of their songs live in protest -- addressing subjects like school shootings, deportation, and injustice -- while others are deeply personal, comforting, and reflective. Whether telling a story, exploring a new style, or zeroing in on something very specific, their music is designed to help listeners look inward and see the world from a new perspective. They do this by being precise and intentional with the writing -- carefully crafting lyrics, hooks, melodies, and rhythms that are catchy, soothing, and emotionally resonant.
