"We are very excited to be one of the 26 ballparks to host this event. The last major concert event at Jerry Uht Park was in 1999. We are always looking for new ways to utilize Jerry Uht Park and bring people to downtown Erie. A concert of this stature should be a huge event." - SeaWolves General Manager John Frey.

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), which included the hit song "A Long December"; Across A Wire: Live in NY (1998); This Desert Life (1999) and Hard Candy (2002), which featured the band's Top 10 cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi". In 2004 the band released their first ever "Best Of" set Films About Ghosts, which featured songs from every phase of Counting Crow's recording career, followed by the live album *New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall 2003, which appeared in 2006 and was greeted with universal awe and acclaim.

The band's most recent successes include a # 1 hit with the song "Accidentally In Love," the opening theme for the movie Shrek 2, which aside from selling over a million records, garnered nominations in 2005 for a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award

LIVE, a band that came of age in the early nineties, one of rock's most creative periods, remains intact. 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 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."

Collective Soul has enjoyed major popularity as a successful rock band for over a decade. Since the release of their first album 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."
