Counting Crows is an American rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Formed in 1991, the band consists of guitarist David Bryson, drummer Jim Bogios, vocalist Adam Duritz, keyboardist Charlie Gillingham, multi-instrumentalist David Immerglück, bass guitarist Millard Powers, and guitarist Dan Vickrey.[4] Past members include the drummers Steve Bowman (1991–1994) and Ben Mize (1994–2002), and bass guitarist Matt Malley (1991–2005).
Counting Crows gained popularity following the release of its first album, August and Everything After (1993). With the breakthrough hit single "Mr. Jones" (1993), the album sold more than 7 million copies in the United States. The band received two Grammy Awards nominations in 1994, one for "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" (for "Round Here") and one for "Best New Artist". The follow-up album, Recovering the Satellites, reached number one on the US Billboard 200 album chart and reached number one in several other countries. All but one of their subsequent albums reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 list.
Their hit singles include the aforementioned "Mr. Jones" as well as "

Origin of band name
The band name is derived from "
Here is one modern version of the rhyme:
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird,
You must not miss.[8]
The rhyme is featured in the song "A Murder of One" on the band's debut album, August and Everything After.[7]

Before signing to Geffen, the band recorded demo versions of a number of songs, known as the 'Flying Demos'. These later surfaced among the Counting Crows fanbase. Tracks include "
1993–1994: August and Everything After and popular success
The band's debut album, August and Everything After, was released in September 1993.[7] The album's first single, "Mr. Jones", refers to Marty Jones (Himalayans bassist, and Duritz's childhood friend) and Kenney Dale Johnson (the drummer of Silvertone, Chris Isaak's band).[20] It describes the desire of working musicians to make it big and the fantasies they entertain about what fame might bring.[21] Duritz sang the song in fun, enjoying the fantasy; he did not realize that just months later, in December 1993,[7] MTV would begin playing the video for the song. "Mr. Jones" was a breakthrough hit,[22] drawing massive radio play and launching the band into stardom. In 2018, the Chicago Sun-Times described August and Everything After as follows:
"August And Everything After" [launched] the Bay Area septet with its hippie-inspired, roots-rock-infiltrating hits "Mr. Jones", "Round Here", and "Rain King", (ironically, at a time when grunge dominated the charts). Counting Crows eschewed the trend, happily wearing their time-stamped influences like Van Morrison and The Band on their patchwork sleeves, and found an audience who agreed with them. That first album went on to become a seven-times-platinum success in the U.S. alone, at the time the fastest-selling record since Nirvana' Nevermind.[23]
With "Mr. Jones" propelling the band forward, and with positive reviews from
Success took a toll on Counting Crows; Duritz suffered a widely reported
1995–1998: Recovering the Satellites and double live album
The band played only two gigs in 1995.[13] This allowed Duritz to write a set of songs that became the band's second album, Recovering the Satellites.[25] Released October 15, 1996, it was heavier than August and Everything After. A response to the sudden fame that "Mr. Jones" had brought, it contains lyrics such as "These days I feel like I'm fading away / Like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio" (from "Have You Seen Me Lately?") and "Gonna get back to basics / Guess I'll start it up again" (from "Recovering the Satellites"). Dealing with the theme of Duritz's unease with his newfound fame, the album was described as "a concept album of sorts about trying to pick up the pieces of a family, a social life and a psyche shattered by fame".[25] This album contained the single "A Long December", which was a number one hit in Canada[27] and a Top 10 hit in the United States.[28]
On July 2, 1997, Counting Crows started off a co-headlining tour with

2007–2008: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
Duritz hinted in a 2006 interview[42] that Counting Crows' next studio record would be released in late 2007. He indicated that the band had spent three weeks working in a recording studio with Gil Norton, the producer behind Recovering the Satellites, and revealed the working title of the album to be Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings. Duritz explained that, "Saturday night is when you sin and Sunday is when you regret. Sinning is often done very loudly, angrily, bitterly, violently."[43] Vickrey stated that "the idea at the moment is to have kind of a rocking side and then an acoustic-y, maybe country-ish side. We got the first half done in May in New York, so half of it is pretty strong and done. And now we're going to work on the second half, the country tunes, during the tour."[42]
Amidst touring in the summer of 2007, the band performed live before the
In September 2007, Counting Crows played a unique show at Town Hall in New York City, during which it performed all the tracks from August and Everything After in album order. The show was recorded for a planned DVD release, and also featured several songs from the new album. On September 27, Duritz announced on his blog that the band had asked its record label to postpone the album's release until early 2008, citing the time pressures involved in preparing both the new album and an August and Everything After deluxe edition for release.
On January 16, 2008, the band released a digital single on its official website as a free download. It featured "
Departure from Geffen
On March 22, 2009, Duritz announced on the band's website that they would be leaving
Following the departure from Geffen, the band has continued to tour. During the summer of 2009, they launched the ambitious Saturday Night Rebel Rockers Traveling Circus and Medicine Show tour with longtime Bay Area friend Michael Franti, his band Spearhead, and the band Augustana.[50] Instead of the traditional concert format of a short set by an opening act, followed by a longer set from a main supporting act, and then a long set by the headlining band, the shows featured members of all of the bands joining each other for songs from each bands' catalogs at various points throughout the evening.[51] As Duritz explained in a welcoming message on the official website for the tour, each show "is going to start with EVERYONE onstage together and we're going to all be running on & off stage all night playing one each other's songs all together and basically just playing whenever we feel like playing."[52]

The band released a covers album entitled
A live album, Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow, was released in North America in November 2013.[58]
2014–2019: Somewhere Under Wonderland, podcast and wine
The writing of material for a new album, Somewhere Under Wonderland, began early in 2013 and continued during that year's summer tour.[57] The album was released on September 2, 2014.[59]
In 2018, Duritz became an investor in three wineries based in
Starting in February 2018, Duritz began recording the Underwater Sunshine Podcast, a weekly music podcast with author and music journalist James Campion.[62] Having parted ways with Spaulding, Duritz and friends began putting on their own twice-annual music festival in New York called the Underwater Sunshine Fest to showcase independent music.[63][64] The first festival, held at the Bowery Electric in October 2018, featured 17 bands over two nights. A second in April 2019 showcased 18 bands, and a third held at Rockwood Music Hall in November 2019 expanded the lineup to 26. Acts as diverse as Yellow House Orchestra, Seán Barna, Mikaela Davis, Marcy Playground, Matt Sucich, Stephen Kellogg, Stew and the Negro Problem, and Fairhazel have appeared. More bands recorded acoustic sessions at Duritz's loft the weekends of each of the festivals.
In January 2019, Counting Crows released a newly recorded version of "August and Everything After" performed with the
2020s
2020–present: Butter Miracle, cooking and more
In early February 2020, Duritz described the band's next project as suites of music that may be released on various EPs. The band began studio sessions in late February and early March on four songs that complete the first suite: "The Tall Grass", "Elevator Boots",[66] "The Angel of 14th Street", and "Bobby and the Rat Kings".[67] Mott the Hoople, Thin Lizzy, and Seán Barna's album, CISSY, were cited as influences on original demos of the songs as Duritz was writing, though the final recordings will likely not sound similar.[68]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, without touring, without being able to work on music in the studio, and taking a hiatus from his podcast, Duritz began hosting cooking videos through his Instagram stories.[69] Speaking with chef Tyler Florence, Duritz said the type of research he would do regarding music for the podcast he turned into exploring more about food and cooking to share with others.[61] Duritz and Campion would return to producing the Underwater Sunshine Podcast in May 2021.[61]
"Elevator Boots" was released as the first single for the four-track EP in April 2021, described by Rolling Stone as "a melodic, wistful ode to life on tour, with a sound that somehow manages to bridge the gap between the Band and Mott the Hoople."[70] The EP, titled Butter Miracle, Suite One, will be released on May 21, 2021. Duritz tells Rolling Stone that a second EP, Butter Miracle, Suite Two, will be released and together form a full album. He is currently writing songs for the second EP, and the band has tentatively plans to resume touring in the fall of 2021.[70] In February 2022, Duritz appeared as a guest vocalist on two tracks on Gang of Youths' third studio album Angel in Realtime. Later that year, he confirmed that the writing for Suite Two had been completed. He believed that the initial songwriting was not strong enough, so decided to rewrite those songs and add an additional composition; recording for the follow-up could only happen once the band was done with touring.[71]
During the 2022 Butter Miracle Tour, the band performed live in Israel for the first time, playing in an amphitheater in the city of Ra'anana.[72] In April 2023, the band returned to Australia and New Zealand for a series of headlining shows, with English musician Frank Turner supporting them.[73] The following year, the Oneness Tour saw the band travel with Santana.[74]
Influences, live performances and covers
Counting Crows, and Duritz in particular, have become renowned for energetic, passionate live performances.[75][76][77] The band's influences include Van Morrison, R.E.M., and Bob Dylan.[78][14][79][80]
Several Counting Crows songs have been altered during the band's live performances, such as "Round Here", "Goodnight Elisabeth", "Rain King", and "A Murder of One". This can be heard on the Across a Wire: Live in New York City album on the first disc (on which "Round Here" contains lyrics from "Have You Seen Me Lately?") and the second disc ("Anna Begins" has an extended midsection with new lyrics, and the introduction to "Mr. Jones" includes lyrics from "Miller's Angels" and from
In February 2011, Duritz released an indie album of cover songs he had recorded entitled All My Bloody Valentines. He allowed Facebook followers to help name and design the cover art for the album.[82]
The band has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.[83]
