Five For Fighting is back!
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. This can be heard on the past five albums by Five For Fighting, the band name under which he records and performs. Now John delivers a new album, Slice, featuring the song "Chances", which is now available! Check HERE for a sneak peek at this great song!!
Five For Fighting’s breakthrough came in 2001 with the Grammy Nominated song “Superman”, from the Platinum certified “America Town”. The song was climbing the charts upon release, and when 9/11 happened, it became a song of healing for the nation. FFF performed the song at the post 9/11 fundraiser The Concert for New York which paid tribute to all the firefighters, police officers & paramedics affected by the events of 9/11.
On the 2004 release, “The Battle For Everything”, the song “100 Years” followed in the footsteps of “Superman” as yet another inspiring reflective song.
We are loving our new Slice by Five for Fighting CD and we know you will love it as well! If you are looking to update the songs on your playlist then we highly recommend that you check out Slice!

I love 100 years. It has been on my ipod forever and is such a treat when it shuffles on. Very honest words and gets me a little teared up when I hear it.
Story Of Your Life is my favorite song
