"I Am A Veteran" (A Song to Honor All Who Have Served)
Released: Monday, November 11, 2024
Songwriter and retired United States Air Force veteran Ty Warner honors his fellow servicemen and women with his heartfelt new single, “I Am a Veteran.” The song was released on all major streaming platforms on November 11, 2024.
Warner reflects on the sacrifices made by military personnel, stating, “We voluntarily served our nation because we wanted to, and expected nothing in return. I do feel ‘I Am a Veteran’ gives solace to those families who pay tribute to the military members who served our nation.” He emphasizes that while Veterans Day is a significant occasion, veterans deserve recognition every day of the year.
The inspiration for “I Am a Veteran” came from a poem written by Warner’s friend and fellow veteran, Kerry Glaser. “When I read the poem, I thought it would make a great song,” Warner shared. The collaborative effort resulted in a powerful tribute, with Warner crafting the chorus and Glaser contributing the verses.
Engineered by Vonte Anderson at Wyoming Wave Studios in Cheyenne, WY, the song features the talents of Asha Henshaw on piano and backing vocals, and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Reese on fiddle and electric guitar. Warner met both Henshaw and Reese at the Durango Song Expo in February 2024. “Josh’s approach on guitar and fiddle are par excellence; he brought it to life with the way he colored certain parts of the song,” Warner noted. Henshaw, a student at Berklee School of Music, added depth to the track with her production and vocal contributions. “Asha’s layering as a producer was unbelievable,” notes Warner. “She layered some piano on top to make the song move, and her incredible background vocals added to that, too.”
The song was mastered by renowned producer Jim Thacker of Kazen Music Group, who enhanced the soundscape with drums and bass. “Jim is a military dependent and has been in the military culture. The opportunity to work with such an icon in the industry is indescribable,” Warner said.
Warner debuted “I Am a Veteran” live at the Salute to Service Veterans Day Concert on November 11th at the Skydeck on Broadway in Nashville, TN, alongside the Air Force Academy’s Wild Blue Country and other performers.
