The brainchild of singer-songwriter-performer John Ondrasik, Five for Fighting signed with Columbia Records in 2000, releasing the platinum-certified album, "America Town" in September of that year. "America Town" premiered two of Five For Fighting's signature tracks: the international hit, "Easy Tonight" and the Grammy-nominated "Superman (It's Not Easy)," a song offering solace and comfort which became an American anthem following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
