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:

Andrea Green

An award-winning playwright, composer, lyricist, musical director, professional jazz pianist/ vocal stylist, and credentialed music therapist, Andrea Green will be the first to tell you that her prolific creative portfolio flows directly from her core belief that music can be a healing art.
Andrea Green enjoys national acclaim for decades of work creating appealing, Broadway-style musicals for children and family audiences. And there's a unique signature to those shows. Written to be performed by children and teens, they all have wonderfully memorable tunes, a variety of easy-to-sing roles and they deliver important, heartfelt messages on themes of tolerance, understanding, friendship, and respect. This successful Philadelphia-area theater artist has created nine classic, children's musicals and fourteen overall.
Andrea's work as a composer and music therapist is the subject of the one hour documentary ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, produced by MIND.TV of Philadelphia and award-winning film maker Henry Nevison, to be aired in the fall of 2013.

Ray Naylor

Ray Naylor has been performing since 1980 and writing songs a few years before that. He's performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival twice (1997 and 2017). In addition to performing, Ray has hosted 2 radio programs (1980-82 and currently on WPPM-FM in Philadelphia). He managed 3 performing songwriters in the 1990s, booked several small venues, and produced two concert series. He has also produced and hosted a YouTube program called "The Performing Songwriter" which ended in June 2018 after 100 shows.

Charles Nolan

Charles Nolan writes songs, writes poems that are more like convoluted stories, and performs both in a dramatic and engaging way that leaves audiences feeling challenged, amused, tickled, occasionally confused, but never bored. He was part of the coffeehouse scene in Greenwich Village in the late 60's, has written over two thousand songs, and is busy working on the next thousand. He is unashamedly urban, occasionally boisterous, usually irreverent and not afraid to quote Shakespeare and the town drunk in the same breath.
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.
