Counting Crows
With a career spanning two decades, The Counting Crows have reigned over the Adult Contemporary charts and have scored countless hit singles.

Frontman and lyricist, Adam Duritz, formed the group alongside David Bryson in San Francisco in 1991 as a duo. Counting Crows concerts were performed throughout the local bar scene and they began to pick up band members along the way. By 1993, the final line-up was produced and the band was signed to Geffen Records. They released their debut album, August and Everything After, in 1993 and the disc became a national sensation. The album featured the hit single, "Mr. Jones", and the band found instant fame. Counting Crows tour dates were booked extensively to promote the album. They headlined their own concerts and were booked on the opening stages for acts such as Bob Dylan and the Cranberries. The album sold seven million copies in the US alone and was one of the fastest selling albums of the decade.
After an extensive tour and concert schedule, Counting Crows tour dates were scaled back in 1995 in order to record their hotly anticipated sophomore album. The disc, Recovering the Satellites, did not disappoint fans and was released in 1996. It featured the runaway hit "Long December", and was a deeper and more solemn collection of songs than its predecessor. Counting Crows tour dates were scheduled on an extensive nine-month tour. The concert schedule was so intense that Duritz developed nodules on his vocal cords and the band was forced to cancel several concerts. Counting Crows tour dates were scheduled throughout the majority of 1997 and they also found time to record an episode of VH1's Storytellers series.
The bandmates took a couple years hiatus and then performed at Woodstock 99 before releasing their third set, This Desert Life. Counting Crows tour dates were booked alongside Live for a co-headlining tour. They released their fourth album, Hard Candy, in 2002 and scored another top ten hit with a remake of "Big Yellow Taxi", featuring Vanessa Carlton. The Counting Crows concert schedule included the international Hard Candy Concert Tour throughout 2003 and they released a Greatest Hits album the following year. In 2004, they recorded Accidentally in Love which appeared on the soundtrack for the hit film Shrek 2. The Counting Crows performed the song at the Academy Awards where they were also honored with a nomination.
After a long hiatus, the Counting Crows returned in 2008 with a new album, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings. They embarked on a national tour to promote the album and have made appearances at several festivals since releasing their latest disc. When all is said and done, The counting Crows have sold over ten million records, have Grammy and Academy Award nominations under their belt, and are one of the best live acts in the business.
