Counting Crows 2018 Tickets
H2>About Counting Crows
With their angst-filled hybrid of Van Morrison, the Band, and R.E.M., Counting Crows became an overnight sensation in 1994. Only a year earlier, the band was a group of unknown musicians, filling in for the absent Van Morrison at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony; they were introduced by an enthusiastic Robbie Robertson. Early in 1993, the band recorded its debut album, August and Everything After, with T-Bone Burnett. Released in the fall, it was a dark and somber record, driven by the morose lyrics and expressive vocals of Adam Duritz. The only uptempo song, “Mr. Jones,” became their ticket to stardom, and Counting Crows enjoyed a significant amount of success throughout the ’90s and beyond.
What made Counting Crows unique was how they were able to balance Duritz’s tortured lyrics with the sound of the late ’60s and early ’70s; it made them one of the few alternative bands to appeal to listeners who thought that rock & roll died in 1972. Recovering the Satellites followed in 1996, and “A Long December” was a Top Ten hit on both the Modern Rock and Adult Top 40 charts. The band issued the two-disc Across a Wire: Live in New York in 1998, and the following year saw the release of Counting Crows’ third studio album, This Desert Life. In the midst of recording and collaborating with Ryan Adams on his sophomore album, Gold, Duritz joined his band in the studio as well. The fruit of those sessions was the group’s Steve Lillywhite-produced fourth album, Hard Candy.
The next year saw the release of the best-of Films About Ghosts, and in 2004 Counting Crows reminded fans of their ability to write a hit single with “Accidentally in Love,” which appeared on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. Two years later, New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall, recorded from a show on February 6, 2003, was made available to the public. In 2008 the band issued Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings, a concept record divided into two halves: the more rowdy, upbeat rock of Saturday night soundtracks and the mellow alt-country side of Sunday morning hangovers.
In 2009 the band parted ways with its longtime major-label home Geffen Records, but continued to tour and write new material as feverishly as ever. Duritz struggled with mental problems and prescription drug addiction following the split with Geffen, working on solo material that he released in part online. August and Everything After: Live at Town Hall, the band’s third official live album, was released in 2011. To tide fans over until the release of an album of new material, the band offered up a collection of cover songs entitled Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation) in 2012 and yet another live album, Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow, the following year. While touring in 2013 the group started to write material for what would become its seventh album. Recorded at the end of 2013 with producer Brian Deck, Somewhere Under Wonderland saw release in September 2014. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine | Apple Music

About Radiohead
At some point in the early 21st century, Radiohead became something more than a band: they became a touchstone for everything that is fearless and adventurous in rock, inheriting the throne from David Bowie, Pink Floyd, and the Talking Heads. The latter group gave the band its name — it’s an album track on 1986’s True Stories — but Radiohead never sounded much like the Heads, nor did they take much from Bowie apart from their willingness to experiment. Instead, they spliced Floyd’s spaciness with U2’s messianic arena-rock heft, bridging the gap with guitar skronk borrowed from the ’80s … more @ Apple Music

About Alicia Keys
American singer/songwriter and pianist Alicia Keys became an international star in the early 2000s with her singular mix of classic and contemporary R&B. Behind the number one pop hit “Fallin’,” her debut album, Songs in A Minor, sold more than 50,000 copies during its first day of availability in 2001 and eventually moved over ten million units worldwide, thus setting the stage for the then-20-year-old’s career. Her 2003 sophomore follow-up, The Diary of Alicia Keys, cemented her popularity and she spent the next decade refining her signature sound, racking up platinum certifications with additional chart-toppers As I Am (2007) and Girl on Fire (2012). In addition to her solo efforts, Keys also collaborated on a number of notable hits with the likes of Jay-Z (“Empire State of Mind”), Jack White (the Bond theme “Another Way to Die”), Usher (“My Boo”), and more.Alicia Augello Cook was born in Hell’s Kitchen in early 1981. Raised by her Italian-American mother, she enrolled in classical piano lessons at the age of seven and began writing songs four years later. An education at the Professional Performance Arts School helped develop her vocal skills, and Keys graduated at the age of 16 as the class valedictorian. Two Columbias loomed on the immediate horizon: Columbia University and Columbia Records, both of which had extended offers to the talented student/musician. Although she attempted to make both options work, Keys found it difficult to juggle the two commitments and chose to focus exclusively on her music career. Assuming the stage name of Alicia Keys, she began working with Columbia and contributed a song to the Men in Black soundtrack, but disputes with the label resulted in her contract’s termination.
Keys bounced back by aligning herself with Clive Davis, the president of Arista Records, but work on her debut album stalled when Davis was ousted from the company in 2000. Davis soon formed his own label, J Records, and welcomed Keys back into the fold with an aggressive publicity campaign (including an influential appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show). Songs in A Minor was released in June 2001 and debuted at the top of the charts, eventually netting five Grammys and rising to platinum status in ten different countries. Her sophomore effort, 2003’s The Diary of Alicia Keys, enjoyed similar Grammy-certified success and yielded a trio of Top 10 singles, “If I Ain’t Got You,” “Diary,” and “You Don’t Know My Name.” Keys released a book of poetry, Tears for Water: Songbook of Poems and Lyrics, the following year.
A live CD/DVD package, Unplugged, arrived in 2005 and followed Keys’ two previous releases to the top of the charts. She then entered the acting world, starring in both Smokin’ Aces and The Nanny Diaries in 2007, before issuing the pop-influenced As I Am later that year. It became her fourth consecutive number one album, and she was nominated for another handful of Grammys as a result, with “Superwoman” winning the award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in early 2009. As the year drew to a close, Keys returned to the top of the Billboard charts with “Empire State of Mind,” a Jay-Z single that featured her vocals, and released her fourth studio album, The Element of Freedom. Although it went platinum, The Element of Freedom didn’t reach number one in the U.S. and became her first album to miss the top slot. It did reach number one in the U.K., though, marking Keys’ first chart-topping album in Europe and highlighting her status as a global artist.
During the next two years, Keys married producer Swizz Beatz, gave birth to a son, collaborated with Eve on the single “Speechless,” appeared on Kanye West’s all-star track “All of the Lights,” and went on a brief tour in celebration of her debut album’s tenth anniversary. She also wrote and co-produced “Angel” for Jennifer Hudson’s I Remember Me. In 2012, she assisted Emeli Sandé (Our Version of Events) and Miguel (Kaleidoscope Dream) prior to releasing Girl on Fire, her fifth studio album. It was issued on RCA that November and featured collaborations with her husband, as well as Sandé, Salaam Remi, Jeff Bhasker, Frank Ocean, and John Legend. In the U.S., it became her fifth number one album and went gold. Her second live album, VH1 Storytellers, was issued in June 2013. Keys’ recorded activity during the next year involved a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, as heard on the soundtrack of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and a pair of socially conscious solo tracks, “We Are Here” and “We Gotta Pray.”
After Keys gave birth to her second son with Swizz Beatz, she released another single, “28 Thousand Days,” and appeared in the second season of Empire, for which she recorded “Powerful” with series co-star Jussie Smollett. The following May, Keys released “In Common” as a prelude to her sixth studio album and made her third musical guest appearance on Saturday Night Live. A few months later, she began a stint as a coach on The Voice and contributed “Back to Life” to the soundtrack for Queen of Katwe. Here, led by the biographical single “Blended Family (What You Do for Love),” arrived that November, peaking at number two on Billboard’s Top 200. In April of the following year, Keys quietly released an EP called Vault Playlist, Vol. 1, which featured previously unreleased material and reimagined versions of earlier songs.
In early 2019, in conjunction with her hosting duties on the 61st Grammy Awards, Keys issued the jazzy single “Raise a Man.” ~ Andrew Leahey & Andy Kellman
