Five for Fighting Tickets in San Diego
Five for Fighting is coming to San Diego at the 4th and B coming up in April. Did you know that Five for Fighting is not the name of a band, but the name of the singer? It’s actually the stage name for John Ondrasik. He thought he would be remembered better if he used something other than his real name. I’d say that was a pretty good decision. Superman (It’s Not Easy) was his big hit that made him popluar in 2001 and he’s been on a roll ever since.

And for all you fans, here’s a bit about Five for Fighting’s most recent albums from Wiki:
His third album The Battle for Everything debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 in February 2004. Its first single “100 Years” was another top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and again reached number one on the World Adult Top 40. It also was number one on a composite world airplay chart and top 10 on a composite world modern rock chart. (based on USA, Germany, United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Canada and Australia).
The Five for Fighting song “100 Years” was used in an ubiquitous JP Morgan Chase commercial, an episode of Clubhouse on CBS, an episode of Smallville, and more recently in an episode of Scrubs. The song was also used in the last scenes of the final episode of JAG and in a retrospective during Katie Couric’s last day on The Today Show. In 2005, Five for Fighting was one of five artists asked to appear on ESPN’s SportsCenter during a weeklong segment series on the connections between music and sports. Again, Ondrasik performed “100 Years,” as film clips of athletes were shown to match the years that Ondrasik would name. (As Ondrasik sang about “being 45 for a moment,” Michael Jordan was shown in his #45 jersey during his 1995 comeback.)
Subsequent single releases failed to capitalize on the success of “100 Years”, with second single “The Devil in the Wishing Well” and third single “If God Made You” both failing to chart the Billboard Hot 100.
Two Lights
Ondrasik’s fourth release Two Lights became his first career Top 10 album, debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200 in August 2006. Its lead single “The Riddle” became Ondrasik’s third career Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #40 thanks to strong iTunes single sales and wide Adult Top 40 airplay.
The second single “World” is currently moving up the Adult Top 40 chart, entering the Top 20 in its third week on the chart this week.
