Keni Thomas - Shreveport 2 LA

What a blast this video was to make.
It was the first time I have worked with Keni, and he has a new huge fan in me, Not only an amazing artist, but a great person who has been through a lot.
This video took us to so many locations, including Nashville and California (the Santa Monica beach, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Lancaster and the foothills of the valley.) Keni and I roamed around shooting the elements, and it all came together. I also met Leeann Tweeden, who played the beautiful love interest in the video. She is known for a few things, including the host of the show NBC Poker After Dark, a model, a Budweiser girl and active with the military overseas. That girl has some stories, and she is as real as it gets. I want to thank Leeann for helping coordinate the Los Angeles set ups and our friends Amy, Jason and family for helping in the desert!
We did get busted by a tough female ranger/cop in the foothills (with her hand resting on her gun) for not having a permit, but I got the shots anyway!
I hope you enjoy.

Awesome guy and a true patriot! My wife and I met him (and Craig Morgan) at a Pentagon concert that was televised to the troops.

I also met him in Afghanistan and he was a great dude. Ranger on Keni!

Met him as well in Afghanistan. The coolest, most unpretentious guy you could possibly meet. Go Kenni, go USA

The first part of this video was shot in Hartsville, TN. The barn with the American flag and 9.11.01 painted on it is just south of town. I pass it every day headed to work in Nashville. Keni Thomas is our neighbor. We live on the same road in the area. He has the coolest Border Collie. He was my buddy, I thought, 'cause he'd wait by the road every mornin' and run along side my car, "protecting" his yard. Haven't seen him lately, though. God Bless you neighbor.

why has this song not been on the radio?? it's amazing. i love this guys voice. i come and watch the video here on youtube almost everyday. i want to hear more of keni on the radio. he is definitely one of the best singers i have heard in a really long time. keep up the great work! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!

[ninjacycloneguy]

This is absolutely one of my favorite songs...ever. No lie. Underrated to such an extent is gets you depressed that this hasn't become a mainstream smash hit. Dig the '71 Charger in the vid. So, did Keni write this one? Wes Loper has been playing it and has it on the radio here in Mobile. I like Keni's version better, to be honest.

Always liked this song. It will be playing nonstop on my road trip from Shreveport to LA.
