Counting Crows

Two words: Counting Crows.

I am a HUGE fan of this American rock band from California. Hitting the scene with their hugely successful debut album "August and Everything After," these boys have gone from strength to strength.

Despite being influenced by the likes of Nirvana, Van Morrison, and Bob Dylan, Counting Crows are today, the influencers for many of the new bands and artists around today. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide under their belt it is clear why they would be!

To date Counting Crows have released six albums; "August and Everything After," "Recovering the Satellites," "This Desert Life," "Hard Candy," "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings," and "Underwater Sunshine."

Popular tracks by this band include; Colorblind, Mr.Jones, and Accidentally in Love. If you, like me, are desperate to see Counting Crows live I urge you to buy tickets quick!

David Gray

David Gray is an English folk rocker singer/ songwriter that first hit the music scene in 1993. Since then he has released a number of albums including 'A Century Ends," "Flesh" and "Sell Sell Sell." Despite all these albums, Gray didn't become popular until 2000 when he broke into mainstream pop and released the album "White Ladder." White Ladder included many popular songs such as This Years Love, Babylon and Sail Away.

In 2002, David Gray released yet another album called "A New Day At Midnight" which went straight to number one in the UK album charts. After the success of this album Gray went on a three year hiatus, only to return in 2005 with the release of the album "Slow Motion."

If you like artists such as Ray LaMontagne, Amos Lee and Counting Crows than this is a band for you. David gray not only has a fabulous voice, but the ability to simply pick up a guitar and belt out a flawless acoustic number. I have seen David Gray live and was very impressed. If you like gigs where you are guaranteed a solid performance with a chilled and mellow atmosphere, than this is for you. 

Tour Dates:
6th March. Islington Assembly Hall - London, UK
