Counting Crows Set For A Tour With A Twist

The Counting Crows are starting their summer tour this week in New Jersey, and while the band has played countless shows across country, this tour has a new twist. They are calling it the Counting Crows Traveling Circus and Medicine Ball tour. What does that mean exactly? It means three bands on the stage at the same time. No opening acts, no side stages, just 18 musicians rocking on stage at once. As Counting Crows lead singer, Adam Duritz puts it, “It’s a blast, you get on the stage with a bunch of people and it’s just organized chaos.” Alternative Addiction is reporting that the Counting Crows are teaming up with Augustana and rapper, Notar, for this unique project. The trio of bands will perform songs from each of their catalogs together on-stage.

Its a new idea and a possible new innovation in the touring world. The Counting Crows Traveling Circus and Medicine Ball tour will roll into the Chicagoland area on August 21st and 24th for two shows at the Ravinia Festival.
