Counting Crows, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Augustana present The Saturday Night Rebel Rockers Traveling Circus & Medicine Show


Didn't know that the Counting Crows were still playing. But after importing half of my over 1200 CDs to an external hard drive (and having just passed C) I can't help but want to see them live again.

“We want to give fans a completely different concert experience this summer than they’ve been getting," says Adam Duritz from Counting Crows. "We’re turning your normal concert experience on its head. We’re going to go out on the road with a bunch of our friends and we’re all going to play shows together. No more 'too short' sets from the bands you love.

"Make sure you come out early, because when the curtain rises, Counting Crows, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Augustana are all going to be right there together on that stage, along with any other friends and special guests happen to be in town and feel like joining the circus for a night.

"We won’t know what we’re going to do until we do it but we’re gonna try and make a glorious noise. One way or another, by the time me and my pals walk off that stage, we’re gonna make sure you remember that the Circus came to town.”
