Five for Fighting

Singer-songwriter John Ondrasik has spent the past decade writing deeply personal songs that include social messages, invoke the human spirit and make an emotional connection. With the past four albums by Five For Fighting, the name under which he records and performs, Ondrasik has seen multitudes of successes. Five For Fighting's breakthrough came in 2001 with the Grammy-nominated song “Superman,” and he proceeded to become part of the American songbook with the hit “100 Years.” His latest album “Slice” takes stories of friends, family and even American servicemen and sets them to music filled with the spirit of the great songs of his youth. It's a diary in which Ondrasik speaks his mind about current issues, experiences and sentiments, while setting those thoughts to piano, bass and drums.
