Jordan Center Hosts Counting Crows And Dog's Eye View

9-15-97
University Park, Pa. -- The Counting Crows, with special guest Dog's Eye View, will appear at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 8 p.m.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 19, at 8 a.m. and can be purchased at the Bryce Jordan Center, Eisenhower Auditorium, selected Uni-Mart ticket outlets, Commonwealth Campus ticket outlets, or by calling (814) 865-5555 locally, or toll-free at 1-800-863-3336. Tickets are $24.50 and $22.50 for reserved seating.

After the six-time platinum sales success of their debut album, "August and Everything After," Counting Crows lead singer and song writer Adam Duritz wanted to make one thing clear. "I am not the next Van Morrison."

The hit single "Mr. Jones" has had critics comparing the Counting Crows to not only Morrison, but also The Band, REM, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and 10,000 Maniacs. Counting Crows won the American Music Award for favorite artist in alternative music in 1995.

"Recovering The Satellites," the latest release from Counting Crows, is filled with intimate songs that have caught the attention of classic-rock fans and sparked enthusiasm from a much younger, alternative audience.
