The Nino from Vienna & the AusWienBand

Der Nino aus Wien, an Austrian songwriter and literary figure, shapes the German-speaking music scene with his unique sound and "Hirschstettner Soul." He performs across the German-speaking region, from the Arena Wien to the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. He has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award more than seven times and won in the "Alternative Pop/Rock" category in 2016. The AusWienBand has remained unchanged since 2009: Der Nino aus Wien (guitar, vocals), Raphael Sas (guitar, keys, vocals), pauT (bass, clarinet, vocals), and David Wukitsevits (drums, vocals). Nino has achieved numerous chart placements, several number one hits in the FM4 charts, writes music for theater, and co-curated the Vienna Popfest in 2018. He has been referred to by Falter as "the best young songwriter in the country" and the "Bob Dylan of Praterstern." Nino and his music have become an integral part of Viennese identity.
