The latest addition to Counting Crows’ 2014 tour plans will support Somewhere Under Wonderland, band’s first album of new material in seven years set to drop in September.  So far, the newly announced dates are the first shows scheduled to take place after the album is released.  Don ‘t you wish your job mandated a trip to Europe?

“Probably the coolest thing about a career like ours is the chance to really see the world,” Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz said.  “I’ll never forget when we landed in London to start our first European tour, or what it was like to go for a walk in the middle of the night after a show and end up at the Eiffel Tower.  European tours are magic.  I cannot wait.”
