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:

	Drew Calvin Drew Calvin's music is intense, progressive, and explosive! His guitar-pounding energy fills a room until the aircrackles, yet his songs have a comfortable down-home flavor. He has earned praise from Mary Chapin Carpenter, Robin and Linda Williams, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Tom Prasada-Rao. Drew was a 2003 winner of the Performing Songwriter contest at Wildflower Festival in Texas, and is a five-time People's Choice winner at the Folk Factory. His artistic inspiration springs from a life lived all over the world in every conceivable life-condition (except rich and famous), and his passion for political and social reform raises his voice against the injustices of that world.

	Catherine Selin Singer-songwriter Catherine Selin developed her songwriting craft through random discoveries with open guitar tunings. Despite years of classical vocal training her approach to the guitar has always been an interior one inspired by intuition, emotion, and life experience, with a generous sprinkling of serendipity. She has earned her keep as a NYC foot messenger, a contract archaeologist, a milk"man", and cemetery caretaker, and has lived in a tent, a goat shed, a caboose, a woodcutter's cottage, and a cemetery. Her newest brainchild has been a musical gathering known as "Cemetery Nights", held in the Northwood Cemetery vault where she has tended the graveyard and raised a family since 1995.
	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.
