Five Way Friday is a pop-rock band based out of Greenville and Columbia, South Carolina.
[1] The band formed in 1997, playing gigs in Greenville, Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina,[2] and releasing a full-length (Moon Driven World) and two EPs over the course of the next three years.
[4] Though the band nearly broke up after the making of Run Like This, when founding guitarist Michael Helmly departed, in 2003 a full-length entitled Wrecked was released, produced by fellow South Carolinian Mark Bryan of Hootie & the Blowfish.
In 2009 Five Way Friday teamed up with the Share Our Suzy (SOS) Foundation, an organization that provides financial assistance to cancer patients from diagnosis to remission, and began the Back to Her Campaign.
FWF is donating a percentage of every download of its song Back to Her from iTunes to the SOS Foundation.
