'''''August and Everything After''''' is the debut studio album by American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Counting Crows]], released September 14, 1993, on [[DGC Records]].  The album was produced by [[T Bone Burnett]] and featured the founding members of the band: [[Steve Bowman]] (drums), [[David Bryson]] (guitar), [[Adam Duritz]] (vocals), [[Charlie Gillingham]] (keyboards), and [[Matt Malley]] (bass).  Among the several session musicians used for the album was multi-instrumentalist [[David Immerglück]], who later joined the band as a full-time member in 1999, as well as Burnett, who also provided additional guitar work.

Four singles were released from the album, the highest charting of which was "[[Mr. Jones (Counting Crows song)|Mr. Jones]]", which peaked at number 5 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' US Radio Songs Chart and number 2 on several genre-specific ''Billboard'' charts.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Counting Crows: Chart History |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/counting-crows/chart-history/art/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=April 25, 2022}}</ref> The album itself was well received by critics and has gone multi-platinum in several countries, including the U.S. where it has sold over seven million copies, and peaked at number 4 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] album chart.

The album cover depicts handwritten lyrics to a song called "August and Everything After", but the band decided against featuring the song on the album; it was not until over a decade later that it was played as part of one of their live concerts. The song "August and Everything After" was released on January 24, 2019, as an Amazon Original.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M9TJLJM/ref=ap_ws_tlw_trk5#|title=August and Everything After (Amazon Original) by Counting Crows on Amazon Music - Amazon.com|website=www.amazon.com|access-date=January 24, 2019}}</ref>

On September 18, 2007, a two-disc [[special edition|deluxe edition]] of the album was issued. The first disc contains the original album, remastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering, with six [[demo (music)|demos]] added as bonus tracks. The second disc is taken from the band's penultimate performance during the ''August'' tour, recorded at [[Élysée Montmartre]] in [[Paris]], France, on December 9, 1994.

The album ''August & Everything After: Live at Town Hall'' was released on August 29, 2011, featuring live recordings of the songs from this album. More than 6 million copies of the album have been sold by February 2002 in the US.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hive4media.com/news/html/Industry_Article.cfm?article_id=2593|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020302141420/http://www.hive4media.com/news/html/Industry_Article.cfm?article_id=2593|title=Counting Crows To Headline NARM Event|website=[[hive4media.com]]|archive-date=March 2, 2002|date=February 12, 2002|access-date=September 25, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
