Five For Fighting Playing at the Crocodile 11/5

FIVE FOR FIGHTING

CANCELED

singer sick

Five For Fighting, led by John Ondrasik, will perform music from their new album SLICE on November 5, 2009, at the Crocodile. The album is led by the emotionally moving piano-driven first single, “Chances,” which is already a top-20 hit on the Billboard Adult Chart. Known for his song “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” which became an anthem after the September 11 attacks, the Grammy-nominated platinum-selling recording artist’s new album is written with the perspective of one man’s views on his life and the experiences and surrounding world that have shaped it. SLICE harkens back to the golden age of American songwriting in the 1970’s, an era that greatly influenced Ondrasik’s own introspective style. For more information, visit www.fiveforfighting.com.
