Counting Crows are one of the seminal alternative rock bands of their time. Taking influences from REM, Nirvana and Bob Dylan, they have made five studio albums since their debut 'August and Everything After' in 1993, which has received 7x Platinum status. The band were formed by singer Adam Duritz and guitarist Dave Bryson who initially played acoustic shows around California. They soon morphed into a full band with the inclusion of Matt Malley on bass, Charlie Gillingham on keyboards and Steve Bowman on drums. Counting Crows have been signed to Geffen Records since their formation in 1991.
