The St. Augustine Amphitheatre welcomes the classic American rock band, Counting Crows, on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
For the past two decades Counting Crows have contributed greatly to the music and pop culture scene in America and around the world.
The band originated in the San Francisco Bay area, where lead singer Adam Duritz and producer/guitarist David Bryson began playing the area's coffeehouses. Soon after forming the Counting Crows the band expanded and began to gain a small following. From the beginning the band focused on their live performances, touring around the country headlining as well as opening for artists like Bob Dylan, the Cranberries, Los Lobos, and others.
"Mr. Jones" was a song Duritz wrote about dreams musicians have about hitting it big, and in December of 1993 MTV played the music video to this song, bringing the song's premise to fruition for the band. It was an unexpected hit song, drawing massive radio play and launching the band into stardom. August and Everything After became the fastest-selling album since Nirvana's Nevermind.
More hit singles from the band include, "Accidentally In Love" in which the band earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 2005, a Grammy Award, as well as a Golden Globe Award. The song was also featured in Shrek 2.
