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:

	Benjamin Chandler Blending fingerstyle and bluegrass flatpicking into his folk based songwriting, Benjamin Chandler combines his love of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and James Taylor with the guitar influences of Doc Watson and Jerry Reed. While many songs are introspective observations, others push outward with anthem-like choruses and breakneck guitar solos. Both solo and with his band, Sweet 66, Benjamin has performed around the Philadelphia area and is working on recording his music for future release.
	Rick Denzien Rick Denzien wrote his first song at 16 when he began playing guitar and never stopped. He recorded his first album in Nashville while still in college, and since then has recorded 10 CDs of original music, for which he's won awards, been offered major label deals, hit the Billboard chart, been interviewed on TV and radio, and toured the US and in Europe. Nuances of folk and modern rock can be heard in his slightly edgy Americana Rock style, with many of his songs lyrically inspired by social and environmental issues, as well as profound conditions of the human heart in love, war, family, and the world community. Trained formally as a sound and recording engineer, Rick began his own independent recording label in the 1990s where he has produced and engineered projects with numerous regional and national artists, along with his own music. He has also served as a music conference speaker and panelist and college-level teacher.
	Nancy Huebner Nancy Huebner is a native of Philadelphia but has been living in Delaware for several years. She was a classical vocal performance major at Temple University until she took an elective in pop songwriting and decided that was much more fun. Her piano-based songs range from pure musical theater to pop to what has been described as "urban confessional cabaret". She has performed full-length concerts of her pieces and lately has been making appearances at local open mics to showcase new songs.
	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.
