Counting Crows' success dates back to their 1993 debut album August And Everything After and the hit single "Mr. Jones." Subsequent albums include Recovering the Satellites (1996), Across A Wire: Live in NY (1998), This Desert Life (1999) and Hard Candy (2002). The group released its first ever "Best Of" set Films About Ghosts in 2004, which was followed by the live album New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall.

Counting Crows have sold over 20 million records worldwide. The band's most recent achievements include a No. 1 hit with the song "Accidentally In Love," which sold over one million records and garnered nominations for a Grammy Award, Golden Globe Award and Academy Award in 2005.

The seven members of Counting Crows -- Adam Duritz (vocals and piano), Jim Bogios (drums), David Bryson (guitar), Charles Gillingham (keyboards), David Immergluck (guitar), Dan Vickrey (guitar) and Millard Powers (bassist) -- hail from the San Francisco Bay area.

Live is a band that has been together since the early 1990's. The same four guys who debuted at the middle school talent show in York, Pa., and saw the release of their debut album Mental Jewelry and their breakout follow up Throwing Copper, are still together making music almost 20 years later. Live has sold over 20 million CDs worldwide and has had numerous singles reach the Billboard charts including such hits as "Selling the Drama," "I Alone," "Lightning Crashes," "Lakini's Juice," "The Dolphin's Cry" and "Heaven."

Formed in the early 1990's, Collective Soul has enjoyed popularity as a successful rock band for over a decade. Since the release of Hints Allegations & Things Left Unsaid in 1994, Collective Soul has sold over 10 million CDs worldwide and has had 19 singles reach the Billboard charts including such hits as "Shine," "Gel," "Better Now," "December," "The World I Know," "Heavy," "Why Part 2," "Where the River Flows," "Precious Declaration," and "Listen."
