Douglas Linton & The PlanBs

Douglas Linton & The PlanBs are a force of nature blending soul, folk, and blues – a band that transforms every concert into an exhilarating celebration. Led by Texan Douglas Linton, who lives in Vienna and is described as a "brilliant songwriter" and "secret cultural ambassador of the USA" (Kurier), they deliver songs full of depth, groove, and narrative power.

Linton remains true to the great American songwriting tradition – rooted in folk, soul, and blues – and enriches it with vibrant storytelling and a distinctive sense of rhythm. The PlanBs provide the foundation: powerful, nuanced, and full of joy in playing, with harmonies that lift you up and a beat that guarantees no one will stand still.

As every year, they are bringing a special guest to the Sargfabrik stage: Inga Lynch, the siren of Lake Traunsee – with a voice, charisma, and a knack for goosebump-inducing moments.

Douglas Linton – vocals, guitar, harmonica; Anja Klipic, Ina Eckhard – vocals, percussion; Helmut Schiefer – drums; Roman Kovacs – bass; Ben Brokke – keyboards; Chris Filmore – electric guitar.
