Vienna launches the Green Caravan Tour

Filed under: — posted at 5:13 pm by admin

We’re thrilled to announce the first-ever Green Caravan Tour!

This spring, Vienna will be headlining shows across the country. But that’s just part of what she and the band will be up to. Also on the itinerary: working with Habitat For Humanity on days off, reducing the tour’s environmental impact on the road and backstage, and donating part of merchandise proceeds to nonprofits.

You’re invited to get involved—whether it’s volunteering at your local Habitat (and getting concert perks for it!), helping choose an environmental group to receive merch profits, learning more about climate change and poverty issues, or all of the above.

Visit the new Green Caravan page to find out more.

Back to Europe: Netherlands, Austria, Italy

Filed under: — posted at 5:02 pm by admin

Vienna is currently in Europe promoting the release of Dreaming Through The Noise in a few new countries. The upstairs room at Paradiso was packed for Vienna’s second-ever performance in Amsterdam, and renowned singer Louis Austen hosted an exclusive house concert in (drum roll please) Vienna, Austria! Next stop, an Italian debut in Milan.

Keep on the lookout for a club tour of Europe in the fall, and possibly some festival appearances this summer.

We have a winner!

Filed under: — posted at 10:12 pm by admin

Congratulations to C. Weill from Lafayette, Louisiana, who wins the trip to the Jan. 21st DVD taping!

We had an incredibly hard time with this—in all we received 80 entries, many of them beautifully written and with remarkable stories to tell, and a handful that made us laugh out loud (in a good way). From this embarrassment of riches we selected 23 entries, and from there chose the final five names to put in a hat.

Someone wrote in protesting: “Hey, the contest is flawed! Why not just pick the best one as the winner?” Simply put, it was impossible to pick one “best” entry—and hopefully, as we post some of our favorites over the next few days, you’ll see why.

Many, many thanks to everyone who took the time to compose an entry!

Finalists:
C. Weill
Kenneth
Lesley Yates
Lisa Federer
Monica Waterston

Very Honorable Mention:
Andrew Su
Chen Wan
Doug Crets
Doug Haley
Gloria Loucky
Jackie Smith
Jennifer Morgan
Joanne Brady
Julie Brewer
Justin Smith
Lin Xu
Lisa Streit
Kel Miller
Mai-San Chan
Phil Creswell
Rev. Kirstofer K. Avise-Rouse
Sabrina Rode
