“We spent the fall writing songs in New York, and we spent the winter recording them out in Berkeley. We finished a new album of all new songs, and we’re looking forward to getting out on the road and playing them” said lead vocalist Adam Duritz. “Come out and see us- we’re excited about this.”

Joining as the tour’s supporting act is Toad The Wet Sprocket, who are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their first LP Bread & Circus along with the release of their most recent LP .

“We’re honored to be on the road with Counting Crows on the summer of our 25th anniversary. We recently released New Constellation, our first album in 16 years. Adam Duritz is partially responsible – five years after we broke up, he asked us to reform and play a few shows opening for counting Crows,” said lead vocalist and guitarist Glen Philips. “That tour was the first crack in the ice, and now we are back together, touring again with the band that first encouraged us to give it another go.”
