Counting Crows’ success dates back to their 1993 debut release August And Everything After and the hit single “Mr. Jones.” Subsequent albums include Recovering the Satellites (1996); Across A Wire: Live in New York City (1998); This Desert Life (1999) and Hard Candy (2002) which featured the band’s Top 10 cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi.” Additional successes include # 1 hit with the song “Accidentally In Love,” which was featured on the Shrek 2 soundtrack, as well as nominations in 2005 for a Grammy Award, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for the track.
In 2003 the band released their first ever “Best Of” set Films About Ghosts which featured songs from every phase of Counting Crows’ recording career, followed by the live album New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall 2003 which appeared in 2006. Counting Crows’ most recent studio album, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings was released in March of 2008. To date, Counting Crows have sold over 20 million records worldwide.
Michael Franti & Spearhead are touring in support of their sixth studio album All Rebel Rockers. Produced largely in Jamaica by super-duo Sly and Robbie, All Rebel Rockers is a Reggae-steeped record filled with hope and dissent.
Augustana released their second album, Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt, in April 2008.  Their first single from the album, “Sweet and Low,” is currently riding the airwaves.
