Counting Crows found their voice in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1991 when vocalist and lyricist Adam Duritz paired up with guitarist David Bryson. They started as an acoustic duo, playing gigs around Berkeley and San Francisco while fleshing out musical ideas in demo form. By the time they signed to Geffen Records early in 1992 after a bidding war, the band had expanded to include bassist Matt Malley, keyboardist Charlie Gillingham, and drummer Steve Bowman. That combination formed the core for their explosive debut.

Their first album, August and Everything After, arrived in September 1993 and turned into an unexpected phenomenon. Fueled by the breakout single “Mr. Jones”, which leapt into the airwaves and hit number five on US airplay charts, the album sold more than seven million copies in the United States alone. It also included the evocative tracks “Round Here” and “Rain King”, both of which helped cement the band’s reputation for emotionally resonant songwriting and vivid storytelling. From Day One, the group was defined by songs that felt deeply personal, illuminated by Duritz’s raw poetry.

In 1996 the band released Recovering the Satellites, an album born of the turbulence that followed their rapid rise. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and gave the band its defining single of the period—“A Long December.” A reflective ballad inspired by real events in Duritz’s life, it topped Canadian charts and became one of their most enduring songs—a moment when vulnerability translated into connection across borders.

Across the years their catalog expanded with albums like This Desert Life in 1999, Hard Candy in 2002 which featured a hit cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings in 2008, Underwater Sunshine in 2012, and Somewhere Under Wonderland in 2014. In May 2025 they released Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!, building on a 2021 EP and offering their eighth full studio outing. Outside their studio work, a string of live records and inventive tours—including a collaborative “Traveling Circus and Medicine Show” in 2009—kept them connected to fans and committed to performance.

Counting Crows have a handful of major award acknowledgments. In 1994 they were nominated for two Grammy Awards including Best New Artist and Rock Performance by a Duo or Group for “Round Here.” That same year, they won Favorite Alternative Artist at the American Music Awards and Best New Artist Video for “Mr. Jones” at the MTV Video Music Awards. Then in 2004, they earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for “Accidentally in Love,” featured on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. Their body of work has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and Billboard ranks them as the eighth greatest Adult Alternative Artist of all time.
