Counting Crows is an American rock band originating from Berkeley, California, formed in 1991. They gained fame in 1993 following the release of their debut album “August and Everything After” featuring the hit song 
Mr. Jones. The band was formed by singer Adam Duritz (previously of The Himalayans and Sordid Humor) and guitarist David Bryson (Local producer and former member of the band Mr. Dog) in San Francisco, California in 1990. Counting Crows originally performed as an acoustic duo, playing gigs in and around Berkeley and San Francisco. For the first album, Adam and David added bassist Matt Malley, the multiinstrumental Charlie Gillingham, and Drummer Steve Bowman. David Immergluck was the second guitarist on the first album, but did not officially join the band until 1999. Guitarist Dan Vickery was added just as the band set out on their first tour.
Counting Crows, with their intimate and melancholy approach, achieved a large fan base among Generation X alternative rock fans who were looking for something different from the raging guitars of the Seattle music scene.
The band’s most recent success included a … 1 hit with the songAccidentally In Love, which was featured on the Shrek 2 soundtrack (which has sold over 1,000,000 copies), as well as nominations last year for a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for the track. To date the band has sold over 20 million CDs worldwide.

Nothing comes close to August and Everything after... That album was epic. A pleasant departure from the Grunge/Industrial thing going on in early 90's, not like that was a bad thing, though. Radio Music was fairly diverse back then. Rock stations would play this and also play Soundgarden, Cake, Alice In Chains, Matthew Sweet, Jeff Buckley, Jane's Addiction and even Mettalica, etc. and more all on the same frequency...

We went July 8th. to the concert in Windsor ,Ontario.I had not heard of this band, heard Mr. Jones once or twice, not knowing who sung it.Was not sure I'd like the show.OMG!! I LOVED IT.By far this has been one of the best concerts I have gone to.Let me also tell you I am a female 58 yrs old,, but I was loving the show like the 21 yr olds next to us
