The Grammy and Academy Award-nominated rock band Counting Crows have captivated us with their soulful tunes since their multi-platinum breakout album in 1993, “August and Everything After” selling more than 7 million copies in the United States.

The Counting Crows’ debut single, “Mr. Jones” was released 30 years ago. How ironic to make a song about how cool it would be to be famous only to have it come true and still valid after all this time.

Despite the blistering heat, the outdoor venue filled up quickly in anticipation of fans seeing their favorite band. Dashboard Confessional are joining Counting Crows on the “Banshee Season Tour” and what a great surprise it was to have Adam come out out to introduce them and say how happy he is to be on tour together as they are long-time friends and his favorite band.

The Counting Crows play with pure passion and stage presence. Every member of the band shows his love for their songs and for what they do. Adam Duritz’s intimate expressions as he delivers each song makes you feel connected. I feel that every one of us have our own personal stories that we go back to and reflect on as we hear these songs. The fans sure felt it and embraced it from the moment they stepped on stage until the very last note.

Formed in 1991, the band consists of Adam Duritz (vocalist), Charlie Gillingham (keyboards), David Immergluck (multi-instrumental), Dan Vickrey (guitar), David Bryson (guitar), Millard Powers (bass) and Jim Bogios (drums). The “Banshee Season Tour”kicked off on June 13th in Omaha, NE and will finish off at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO on September 25th.
