Counting Crows – ‘Mr. Jones’

Next year will mark three decades since Counting Crows’ seminal debut album, August and Everything After. Released in 1993 via Geffen, August and Everything After was acclaimed upon release, peaking at number four on the Billboard albums chart. The album spawned four singles, most notably ‘Mr. Jones’, along with ‘Round Here’, ‘Rain King’ and ‘A Murder of One’.

Counting Crows have gone on to release six more albums since August and Everything After arrived. The most recent, Somewhere Under Wonderland, was released in 2014. The band last visited Australia in 2015.

Next year’s Bluesfest will run over the Easter Long Weekend – from Thursday, 6th to Monday, 10th April – at its usual home of Byron Events Farm in Tyagarah, New South Wales. International acts on the lineup include Beck, the Doobie Brothers, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Mavis Staples, Nathaniel Rateliff, the Soul Rebels with Talib Kweli and GZA, and Steve Earle. Homegrown artists on the bill include Gang of Youths, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and Tash Sultana.
