Counting Crows is an American rock band originating from Berkeley, California. Formed in 1991, the group gained fame in 1993 with their debut album "August And Everything After," which featured the breakout hit "Mr. Jones." Led by the distinctive voice and introspective songwriting of Adam Duritz, the band's narrative-driven music and passionate performances resonated with fans, leading to multi-platinum success. Over the years, the band has cultivated a dedicated following, thanks to their deep catalog of songs that blend rock, folk, and alternative influences.

Throughout their career, Counting Crows have evolved while remaining true to their core sound, characterized by meaningful lyrics and memorable melodies. Even with shifts in the popular music landscape, the band has continued to create, resulting in a string of acclaimed releases. Notable among their more recent works is the ambitious 2014 album "Somewhere Under Wonderland," praised for its vivid storytelling and musical complexity.
