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.

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.

Richard Hunt

Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, but always engaging, Richard Hunt has a rough hewn but completely genuine style of folk and blues. Playing both guitar and Dobro, the former Philadelphian is coming all the way from West Virginia. The least you can do is travel from somewhere nearby to come see him!

Anthony Viscounte

Anthony Viscounte’s favorite time to listen to music is in the evening, unwinding with velvet, acoustic songs that bring peace at the end of the day. From Carole to James, from Norah to Cat, Anthony’s love of fingerstyle guitar-driven storytelling grows deeper everyday. His own music is a combination of these influences, swirling around messages of love, friendship and hope. He just released his sophomore EP, "The Way You Say Goodnight," which is available on his website.
