It's been a long December

Dear Adam and band,

My name is Megan and I am 14. I am a huge fan. I was born in 1997, when your fame was at its height. My dad introduced me to your music at a young age (When I was born). He would sing your songs to me when I was in a crib, and I know all your songs by heart, because of that. They're wired into my brain. I hope to be a musician, like you guys. I have learned many of your songs on the piano and guitar and I hope to learn them all eventually. I hope you guys go one…

Getting Counting Crows to Respond

Please Respond

 

Tiffany Sparkman Maggard was involved in a deadly plane crash on May 25, 2011. She was the biggest Counting Crows fan ever. Ever since the day we lost her, I have heard at least one Counting Crows song every day on the radio, sometimes up to even 3 or 4 times. I truly believe that it is a sign from Tiff saying that she is fine and…

Recovering

Recovering the Satellites really helped me through a dark time in my life. Unfortunately I was suicidal and EVERY song on the album lifted my spirits and helped lift me up and out of that darkness. That was some 15 years ago and I'm alive and well today and still digging your music. I am coming to LA next year and would love to meet and thank Adam for his poetry that helped see me through that rough spot. God bless guys. Keep up the great work!

Discovering Counting Crows . . . again

Like most fans I can still remember the first time I hear Counting Crows; Shrek 2. My family bought the soundtrack after the film came out which featured the song Accidentally In Love which, consequently, I fell in love with.

For reasons beyond my understanding, I never tried to look up more of their songs. Right up until 7 years after first hearing them.

I was staying at my Girlfriend's flat, talking to her friend about music until about 3am. I told him that I was a big Bruce…

Tender Mercies (Jim and Dan's side project) at Starry Plough in Berkley this Saturday

Just an FYI to you fans out there in Counting Crows land - Jimdog and Dan are putting on a little show (well, playing a gig anyway) at the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley on Shattuck.  So, if you happen to be in the Bay Area and have a $10 bill burning a hole in your pocket, I suggest you go.  If you don't know who Tender Mercies is - they are responsible for Four White Stallions, Mercy and Wiseblood, and are the band that Dan and Charlie were stolen from when they joined Counting Crows.  If…

Tell me Adam, that you've been contacted about your #1 fan's recent plane crash

 

Hi Adam. I wonder and doubt if you'll ever get this.....facebook fans of yours have tried incessantly to let you know that one of your all time greatest fans, a soph college student in KY, was killed in a plane crash recently. I walked in to the funeral services, heard Long December playing, and almost fell apart. Your albums were all that was played....very surreal..

 

And I thought I was your biggest fan....... 

Thanks for reaching my soul...God knows it…

Paso Robles show

My great friend Jo surprised me with a ticket and hotel room for the July 24th show.  Perfect, because the summer theatre festival I played a part in was due to end the 23rd.  Whew!  That was nearly a conflict.  I couldn't wait to pack a bag and head west to the mid-state fair.

Happy Birthday Adam!!

What a great day. Today we celebrate the birthday's of two great musicians. Adam Duritz and the late Jerry Garcia. I know Jerry may not be around anymore but he has influenced the lives and music of many people across this world. "Friend of the Devil" is one of my favorite songs and I really enjoy listening to the Counting Crows version of that song. They blow me away and I got the pleasure of seeing them perform that song at the Bridge School Benefit in the San Francisco area. Today will be… Continue

Counting Crows On Tour

The GreyBird Foundation was established because we believe America is a dream in which the thoughts and needs of each and every person matter. Unfortunately, people feel small as the world expands and they forget that they ARE America.

So we find the people down the street from you who are trying to do their part to help and we try and help THEM. Get involved with the idea of being involved people. After all, it's your town, your country, your world, and no one will ever make as much of a difference as you can just by waking up and being a part of it.
