Shot Notes
This is Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows taking the audience of the Mojo stage back in time at Bluesfest in Byron Bay, Australia. In the early 90′s when Grunge was busy reviving the bones of Punk, one band from San Francisco, California, took the road less travelled by. Adam looked to the troubadours, like Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, and decided to keep the art of storytelling alive with vivid imagery and heartfelt lyrics. The music has a timeless quality. They have remained on my playlist for 30 years because, like wine, they only improve with age.
Adam’s current favourite band is Gang of Youths, who headlined last night at Bluesfest. Adam also sang on their latest album.
2 more days of music, the sun is out, and tickets are available via the Bluesfest Website.
UPDATE: The Counting Crows will return to the festival in 2026. Tickets are available via the Bluesfest Website.
