El Le Faunt & His Traveling Circus

Beginning in 2005, Thomas Maddux started to play around with chord organs, banjos, and darker tones. This came to fruition in 2010 with the release of the Circus EP as El Le Faunt, singing songs of his love of vaudeville, the circus, folk stories, the cabaret, and people long forgotten with troubled minds with disturbed souls.


"The vaudeville-esque El Le Faunt a.k.a. Thomas Maddux brings to mind a charmingly wicked, mustachioed version of Tom Waits...if Tom Waits lived inside the twisted mind of Neil Gaiman, that is. Flanked by a quirky cast of characters wielding mandolins, fiddles, melodicas, clarinets, saws and more, El Le Faunt's "Traveling Circus" is one part performance art and one part hypnotizing Euro-folk."
