Keni Thomas' 2008 CD, Gunslinger.

Keni wrote or co-wrote seven of the tracks on the new album including the infectious title track, "Gunslinger," the inspirational ballad "In God’s Hands," the feel-good summertime anthem, "Summertown," and the hauntingly beautiful "Everything." In addition, the disc includes offerings by such hit songwriters as Kristen Hall, previously of country super group Sugarland ("Out of Nowhere"), Billy Montana ("Shreveport 2 LA," and "Not Ready for Love") and the immensely talented Bruce Robison ("Blame it on Me"), and others.

More than a gifted musician, Keni possesses an exceptional personal story that is uniquely inspiring. He is a decorated combat veteran of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment Special Operations unit. As a military analyst, Keni has made numerous appearances on every major television network including a featured story on "Good Morning America" and specials on The History and Discovery channels. He is regularly booked as a keynote speaker for corporations and organizations around the nation, sharing his motivating story of teamwork and leadership. As a country singer, his dedicated work on behalf of our veterans has been recognized by Congress and the National Defense Foundation. Keni is the recipient of the American Patriot Award, The Carlton Sherwood Media Award and the bronze star for valor.

Keni is very proud of his appointment as the national spokesman for the Hero Fund (HeroFund.com) and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides college educations to the children of our special ops personnel killed in combat or training. A portion of all proceeds from Gunslinger will benefit the Hero Fund. Since its inception, the Hero Fund has helped provide for the educational needs of over 700 children.

The title of Keni’s new album is really a statement of his mission; "I’m not so much a gunslinger in the Wild West sort of way; but rather I’ve come to town to do something good. Instead of an M-4 rifle, I get to carry a Gibson now. Music is a powerful weapon. And that’s how I’m making a difference."
