As the saying goes: All good things come in threes! 

After two consecutive years of sold-out shows, Douglas Linton's Caravan of Songs will return in 2027 as a benefit concert for the VinziRast emergency shelter. It will be a very special evening for a good cause! 

Texas-born singer-songwriter Douglas Linton, who lives in Vienna, plays his own songs, which cover a broad spectrum of Americana music. The Kurier newspaper described him as a “brilliant songwriter” and “secret cultural ambassador of the USA.” His music remains true to the folk, soul, blues, and songster tradition, but at the same time carries on this tradition with lively storytelling and an undeniable rhythmic pulse. 

You never know exactly who will join the musical journey, but it is guaranteed to be great. In recent years, legends Hans Theessink, blues master Erik Trauner, multi-instrumentalist Helmut Mitteregger, and slide guitar virtuoso Gottfried Gfrerer have been among the performers, along with many other great Viennese musicians and, of course, the rhythmic wonder band The PlanBs.Planning has already begun, with further details to follow. All proceeds from the concert will go to the VinziRast emergency shelter. VinziRast is an independent, non-profit organization that has been working with homeless people since 2003. Eight different projects provide support and care for people who live or have lived on the margins of society. People affected by poverty, homeless people, refugees, people with addiction problems, people who live in precarious circumstances and often suffer from social isolation find a place of humanity again. VinziRast provides shelter, time and attention, and a dignified life in community. Everyone can do something. We all belong together.
