Counting Crows is an American rock band from San
Francisco, California, formed in 1991.
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 was top 10 on
the Billboard 200 list.
Counting Crows, and
Adam Duritz in
particular, have become renowned for energetic, passionate live performances.
The band's influences include
Van Morrison, R.E.M.,
and Bob Dylan.
The band has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.
Supporters
flocked to an album that was as moody and introspective as
Pearl Jam or Nirvana, but was rooted in the less bruising strains of
Van Morrison, the Band, and
R.E.M. Along with the fruit of labor, Counting Crows were also blessed with amazingly good fortune. Months before they released their first record, they were hand-picked by Robbie Robertson to stand in for an absent
Van Morrison at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 1993.

As songwriter, decision-maker, and most visible member,
Adam Duritz occupies the center of Counting Crows. Both "August and Everything After" and 1996's "Recovering the Satellites" tap into a lifetime of Duritz's
experiences, frustrations, and observations.
After final mixes by producer Scott Litt (R.E.M.,
Indigo Girls) and the addition of "Raining in Baltimore," "August and Everything After" was complete.
The band hit the road to open up for a diverse group of artists, including
The Cranberries, Suede, and
Midnight Oil.
The band spent 1994 touring North America and Europe, capping the year with a summer cover story in Rolling Stone and an eight-show stand opening for
The Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge tour. Then, as quickly as they had emerged, Counting Crows
retreated to San Francisco, weary from the attention and the road.
For their second album, Counting Crows relied on the same setup that spawned "August and Everything After."
"Recovering the Satellites," released in October of 1996, stepped away from the derivative sounds of the first Counting Crows record.
Counting Crows has released eight studio albums,
two compilation albums and five live albums. Five of the band's singles charted
within the Top 40 of the United States Radio Songs Chart, and two reached the
Top 10.
Six of the band's albums have charted on the Billboard 200 and four have been
certified gold or platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
