Singer-songwriter John Ondrasik performs and records under the name Five For Fighting. His deeply personal, emotional songs often present his views of society, family, war, mortality and the strength of the human spirit. Five For Fighting’s breakthrough came in 2001 with the Grammy-nominated song “Superman” from Ondrasik’s platinum CD “American Town.” In subsequent years, hit songs include “100 Years,” “World,” “The Riddle” and “Freedom Never Dies.”

KAANAPALI — Hawaiian Hotels & Resorts (HH&R) is bringing Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter John Ondrasik’s Five For Fighting to perform live at the Royal Lahaina Resort on Saturday, April 23.

Another show will be held at the Royal Kona Resort on the Big Island on April 21.

The intimate concerts will be held oceanfront at the luau grounds for each resort.

Liz Bell, HH&R marketing and business development director, said, “These two concerts will truly showcase Five For Fighting’s talents under the stars and in a very up close and personal way. The concerts will sell out quickly, so we urge those wishing to attend to reserve their tickets early.”
