Hi folks, I just wanted to update you with a big announcement we just received. After 18 years signed to Geffen Records, the Counting Crows have announced they will part ways with the label Giant.
Lead Singer Adam Duritz posted a lengthy message on the front of the band's Web site today explaining their decision.
"Eighteen years ago, Counting Crows was just a little band from Berkeley. Geffen Records helped put us on the map and then they were our partner for almost two decades," Duritz said. "We want to thank every person who worked hard for so many years to make us a successful band. We're going to go out now and see what the world has to offer a band with a lot of ideas and a lot of energy and, hopefully, a lot of years left in a career that's already surpassed our wildest dreams."
I had the opportunity to meet Duritz and the members of the Counting Crows while they were touring with John Mayer about five years ago. I found the entire band to seem remarkably genuine and totally into their fans and their music. With that in mind it seems the decision to strike out on their own for new adventures should suit the already celebrated band.
We wish them luck!
