Counting Crows [ tickets ], who have pulled out of six shows since late November due to illness, have rescheduled the shows for January and February. The band will be back in action tonight (12/20) in Los Angeles.

The band opened its tour behind the recently released album "This Desert Life" in late October. In addition to the rescheduled shows, the band has also scheduled January concerts in Houston, Dallas and Austin, Texas.
