4Troops Interview
Playing the Summer Arts Festival on Wednesday, June 30, the unique vocal group 4Troops auditioned for Sony Music in December, signed a record deal in January, recorded their first album in February and shot a PBS special in March.
In just six months together, these four combat veterans have had all the momentum of an Abrams tank rolling into Baghdad circa 2003.
“That training,” Jens said, “really helped us put this together that fast.”
And so far, they’re winning the hearts and minds of a nation — our own.
“It’s been pretty incredible,” Jens said. “I wasn’t expecting it to be as big as it has been.”
If Jens’ name looks familiar, it’s because he made the top 20 of “America’s Got Talent” in 2008.
Because of that exposure, he was the first of the 4Troops to be pitched this concept of a new singing group made up of four former soldiers who each served on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I’m living my dream right now,” Jens said.
But this isn’t like winning “America’s Got Talent.”
For Jens, it’s better.
“It’s not about getting rich,” he said. “It’s a much bigger mission than that.”
While the 4Troops are no longer in the Army, they’ve kept the fatigues on and have taken to singing songs that deal with separation, camaraderie and patriotism.

10/07/10 Four powerful American voices come together for one important cause--to support active military members and American veterans and honor their sacrifices through song.
Former Sgt. Daniel Jens, Former Capt. Meredith Melcher, Staff Sgt. (Ret.) Ron Henry and Former Sgt. David Clemo make up 4Troops and have recently released their first album, by the same name, this year.
4 Troops is quite literally three men and one woman who were in the U.S. Army and have now released an album together. The songs are all classics that many know and love, but with a new twist. Most of the songs are quite good, though some more than others. I'm a fan of the original "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" but this version is changed in certain places to fit the group and not sound as rowdy, if you will, as the other version. It's not a bad song with the changes, though it takes a bit to get used too.
Hiting the top tables , they show the power of music is quite... unpredictable !
