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!

Performers:

	Jon Burrowes Jon Burrowes taught himself to play guitar and banjo in the early 1960s. In high school, he played in square dance bands around New England. While he was at college in Montreal, he played in rock, blues, and R&B bands there. Back in Boston, while working and raising a family, Jon began writing songs in different genres, and then finding people to play them with. Before relocating to Philadelphia, he played in various bands, worked with some pretty cool people, and provided music in variety shows in the Boston area for many years. He plays 6-string and 12-string guitar and piano. These days, Jon has a kind of bluesy, jazzy sound. His first album, "One More Ride", got enough airplay to make it onto the FAI charts. His second album, "Second Album", is a mix of folk, blues, and mid-century jazzy stuff. It came out in October, 2024 and received some airplay as well. Jon's two recent albums are available on all the streaming services. He is also a playwright and published author. Website: jonburrowesmusic.com
	Terri (Teresa) Camilari Terri Camilari has been singing since early childhood. Her voice is both sweet and powerful. Terri's CD, OLD HOUSE, was released in early 2020. She has been heard on Folk stations across the globe and had a top 10 single covering Joni Mitchell's "Magdalene Laundries" on the FAI chart in November, 2022. Terri has a background in teaching as well as other creative endeavors. She is a big supporter of using her music for benefits and is a volunteer with Musicians On Call and a hospice music companion through Compassus. She frequently plays out in the region on her own but is also often joined by Ruth Harper on vocals and guitar, and when she adds a violinist, they become her eclectic Americana trio, TC3.

	Marsha Low Marsha Low first started writing songs while she was living abroad, teaching yoga and meditation, and running schools and service projects. Her varied experiences have informed some of the songs she has composed. In addition, she is inspired by the natural world, and themes of nature, including the threat posed by climate change, appear in her work. Marsha also writes songs about social justice. Having lived abroad for 18 years, she has a unique perspective on life in the US. In addition to performing in open mics and open circles in the Philly area, Marsha sang with two community choirs, and performs often at the Malelani Cafe. She has also published an autobiography, "The Orange Robe".
	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.
