Influences
We started the HERO FUND to raise awareness of SOWF and the importance of supporting our military and their families. It all started with the song HERO which I wrote as a tribute to a buddy who died in the fighting in Somalia. You may know of the battle from the book and movie "Blackhawk Down" . For those of us who make it out of something like that, you spend the rest of your life thanking the men on your left and your right. By the grace of God, they are the reason I am here today.
When you buy the CD "Flags of Our Fathers- A Soldier's Story" a portion of your money goes to the HERO FUND which donates those funds entirely to the SOWF.
These songs are for anyone who has ever put on the uniform and stepped into battle in defense of our nation. Your sense of duty and self sacrifice will always be appreciated.
Sounds Like
"Southern Fried Country" We strive to be country music's answer to John Cougar, Petty and the Heartbreakers. You, however, may think it sounds more like the Eagles and Skynard. Well we're fine with that too.
"Use the gifts you have been given. Do what feeds your spirit, because when you do, the world around you becomes a better place. And you have made a difference." You can see it in his eyes, you can hear it in his music; Keni Thomas can't hide his passion for living,and his mission in life is crystal clear.
Whether standing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry or entertaining the troops in Iraq, the southern country-rocker is indeed using his God-given gifts to deliver a message through his words and his music. His undeniable charisma and tremendous talent as a singer, songwriter and performer have firmly established him as one of country music's brightest new stars.
"Thomas is an engaging vocalist and insightful songwriter with tons of personality onstage and off." commented Billboard Magazine
A dynamic live performer, Keni and his band, Cornbread, tour steadily both nationally and abroad opening for top artists like Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Trace Atkins, Montgomery Gentry and Wynonna. They have traveled for years to the Middle East, volunteering their time as part of the USO's "Hope and Freedom" holiday show. Keni and Cornbread even made the jump to Hollywood as the featured band in the Disney/Touchstone blockbuster, "Sweet Home Alabama".
As a songwriter, Thomas is quickly gaining recognition nationwide for his talent. His southern fried scorcher, "Alabama Home" was chosen as the official theme song for Talladega Superspeedway and was used in all national TV spots for the 2007 season. And there's more in store. Like the haunting title track Keni wrote for the upcoming feature film "Circle on the Cross" premiering in 2009. Music Row will tell you that as a songwriter, "Thomas weaves a powerful spell with understated elegance".
Thomas is very proud of his appointment as the national spokesman for the Hero Fund (www.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."
When you buy this record, a portion of your money goes to the Hero Fund.
The New CD is now available NOW!

Love love your music! Wondering how I can get permission to use your song "Flags of our Fathers" for a video clip I made for my Marine son. It's "The making of a Marine" and shows his journey from going to boot camp to serving in Afghanistan. The song would be so perfect. He has served 4 years,2 deployments. Oohhh Rahh 3/8 Marines Lima Co. Cpl Wilder!
