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.

Performers:

	Tony DeSantis Tony DeSantis was first known for his renditions of Stan Rogers's songs but he writes some wicked political and wonderful historical songs of his own. An entertaining performer and multi-instrumentalist, Tony is famous for "DeSantisizing" other people's songs. He has performed at clubs in Boston, New York, Toronto, Vancouver, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and London, UK. He has also produced two CDs, entitled Bright Red Sky and Across the Border. In addition, Tony has taken up acting and performed in a number of local productions. He is currently the President of the Delaware Valley Association of Rail Passengers and is involved with Prison Ministry through Sacred Heart Church in Camden.
	Julieann Ott Philly-based singer-songwriter Julieann Ott (AKA PhillyJulie and Railroad Wings) writes rootsy pop "song-stories" that evoke introspective Americana superstars a la Patty Griffin, Aimee Mann, and Sheryl Crow. With vivid imagery and unexpected melodic turns, Ott hooks her listeners and takes them on an emotional ride. Songs to empathize, share joy, make change for good, however small, and to continually ask "What's it all about?". Seasoned performer and prolific songwriter Rob Lincoln adds his own special brand of magic to the duo's sound. The multi-instrumentalist brings a lighthearted energy to their performances. Julieann's debut EP, "Freight Train Lullaby", was released in March, 2023, and continues to be played on folk radio stations across the country. Website: on.soundcloud.com/Y3GvUYRQ1KfXHKoN9
	Terry Rivel Terry Rivel writes songs about folk heroes, dates from hell, as well as songs about ordinary people, some living and some gone. There are warm vocals and strong guitar style, blending folk, country, pop, bluegrass, and rockabilly. Poignant songs and lots of humor in his performances, too! Terry's most recent CD, "Broken People", has received airplay nationally. Website: www.reverbnation.com/terryrivel
	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.
