Five for Fighting has a super-busy tour schedule over the next month.
Five for Fighting tickets went on sale on March 1, and the tour will continue until April 9. In the five weeks between, FFF’s John Ondrasik will have performances nearly every night.
Ondrasik is also scheduled to make an appearance on VH1’s Top 20 countdown, airing on Tuesday, March 8 at 9 a.m.
John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting will perform his previously unheard song “SLICE” at the 40th annual Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony, honoring Grammy and Academy Award winning composer Steven Schwartz. “SLICE” is scheduled to appear on the Five for Fighting album, which is due out later this year.
In addition, Ondrasik will also receive a special Fatherhood Award at National Fatherhood Initiative’s 2009 Military Fatherhood Award Ceremony on June 9 in Washington, D.C. The award is for his ongoing support of the nation’s military service members and their families, as well as his dedication to his own family.
Five for Fighting released a new album “For The Troops II.” The album was produced by John Ondrasik and is available for free exclusively for active duty military members, veterans and their families. For more information visit: cdforthetroops.com

Five for Fighting wants you to check out the new NBC series “Baby Borrowers,” which aired on June 25 at 9pm / 8pm CST.
Baby Borrowers is “a unique social experiment that takes five teenage couples on a rollercoaster ride of adult responsibility, allowing them to experience parenting firsthand. Desperate to have their own life and family, our lovebirds are thrown in at the deep end. They’re given houses and real responsibilities, the most important of which is to look after children from a range of age groups. They’ll begin with an infant, followed by a toddler, pre-teen, young teenager, and lastly a senior citizen,” according to the show’s official website.
Five For Fighting’s “Something About You” is the theme song for this new series!
I just love it when influential people use their popularity for good deeds. Take Five for Fighting’s John Ondrasik, for example. He created a video charity website (whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com) to support groups like Augie’s Quest, Autism Speaks, Fisher House Foundation, Save the Children, and Operation Homefront. To date, his charity website has earned just over $328,000.
In November 2007, Ondrasik released more than 200,000 free CD’s containing 13 songs for American Troops. The CD, titled “CD for the Troops” features artists like Maroon 5, Billy Joel, Goo Goo Dolls, Jewel, and Josh Groban.
Stay tuned for more good deeds from Five for Fighting…Perhaps some tour dates?
