SUMMARY:Edwin McCain & Five For Fighting @ Taft Theater
DESCRIPTION:EDWIN McCAIN & FIVE FOR FIGHTING\nANNOUNCE SUMMER CO-HEADLINE TOUR \nTAFT THEATRE \nJUNE 14 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, February 13 at 10am \nCincinnati\, OH (2/9/26) – Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Edwin McCain will hit the road this summer on a co-headline tour with Five For Fighting (John Ondrasik)\, bringing two of the most enduring catalogs of modern pop and adult alternative music to theaters and amphitheaters across the U.S. Says McCain\, “”I’ve always loved Five for Fighting and I’m excited to share the stage on this tour!” \nThe tour launches June 4 in Kentucky and runs through July 1 in Utah\, with stops in key markets including Cincinnati\, OH at Taft Theatre on June 14. Each night will feature McCain and Five For Fighting alternating closing sets\, offering fans a full evening of hit-filled performances. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday\, February 13 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nBest known for timeless\, multi-platinum singles like “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask for More\,” McCain’s songs continue to resonate across generations. His catalog has found renewed life through covers by contemporary artists such as Justin Bieber and Charlie Puth\, while his emotionally charged ballads are frequently championed by contestants on American Idol and The Voice\, cementing their place in the modern songwriting canon. \nMcCain has remained a vital live performer\, spending last summer touring with Train and sharing stages with Hootie & the Blowfish and Collective Soul. For this tour\, Edwin is bringing his full band: Craig Shields on saxophone and keyboards\, Larry Chaney on lead guitar\, “Tez” Sherard on drums and vocals\, and Jason Pomar on bass and vocals. Edwin released his 11th studio album\, Lucky\, last year and recently appeared on The Masked Singer as “Nessy\,” advancing to the final six and losing by the closest margin in the show’s history—less than one percent. \nThe Edwin McCain / Five For Fighting co-headline tour promises an evening of iconic songs\, shared stories\, and the rare chemistry that comes from two artists whose music has soundtracked decades of listeners’ lives. \nABOUT EDWIN MCCAIN \nA major-label breakout in the mid-’90s with Honor Among Thieves\, Edwin McCain became a Top 40 mainstay and soundtrack favorite thanks to enduring smash hits like “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask for More\,” earning a reputation as one of pop’s great romantics while sustaining a three-decade career. Last year\, the veteran singer-songwriter-guitarist released his 11th studio album\, Lucky—his first collection of new material since 2011—an expansive set that reflects his blues\, soul\, rock\, and folk roots while embracing fresh creative ambition. Adding to a banner year\, McCain was unmasked as “Nessy” on The Masked Singer\, making it all the way to the final six before losing by the closest margin in the show’s history\, less than 1%. \nABOUT FIVE FOR FIGHTING \nThe only way for a story to progress is to turn the page. John Ondrasik — the songwriter and performer known as the platinum-selling\, Grammy-nominated\, Five For Fighting — knows this well. In the two decades since his first major single\, “Superman (It’s Not Easy)\,” hit the stratosphere\, the artist has both evolved and come back ’round full circle. Creativity\, if nothing else\, is paradoxical. To date\, Five For Fighting\, has released six studio LPs\, including the platinum certified America Town and The Battle for Everything; and the top-10 charting Two Lights\, along with an EP and live albums. Ondrasik has penned major hits\, including the chart-topping “100 Years\,” “The Riddle\,” “Chances\,” “World\,” and “Easy Tonight\,” which have earned tens of millions of streams and place him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective “100 Years” has joined “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time at weddings\, birthdays\, graduations\, memorials\, and many a home video. Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films\, television shows\, and commercials\, including the Oscar-winning The Blind Side\, Hawaii Five-O\, The Sopranos and the CBS drama\, Code Black.
