He has written dozens of original songs, including original music for theater productions, and has released two CDs of original music. Reviews of his CDs include descriptions such as , "...a gifted poet that has the ability to set it all to music in a beautiful and unforgettable way … “, ...a five star indulgence from start to finish." and "Golddust Magic glitters with years of musical talent”. Thomas’ unique approach to playing and writing is based on very early influences ranging from Joni Mitchell and Mississippi John Hurt to James Taylor and Tom Waits. He has been compared to such contemporary artists as Iron and Wine and Ray LaMontagne.. After living in Maui for a year working on his upcoming CD, Thomas now lives full time in Venice, Florida.
Thomas Earl’s musical journey began growing up just outside Ann Arbor, Michigan and playing in local clubs with then unknown and aspiring musicians such as Joni Mitchell, John Hammond, Jim Kweskin and Maria Muldaur. He continued performing and writing, working both as a solo artist and with various folk groups. He served as both performer and concert promoter as he produced live folk music events in Michigan and Ohio. His music took him throughout the Midwest and to Europe, including writing music for a theatrical production tribute to the poet Langston Hughes.
In the 1970s, along with a number of folk artists, he began a migration into rock and roll. His experiences included a brief brush with commercial success with a group called “The Woolies”, releasing a cover of “Who do you Love?”, as well as working in a group called, “The James K. Polk Memorial Rock Band”, who released a rock version of Jesse Colin Young’s “Four in the Morning”.
As with many struggling musicians who grow into their twenties, Thomas ended up leaving the music industry and moving into a more traditional career in the corporate world. He always continued playing, performing, and writing music whenever he had the opportunity.
After finally escaping the corporate world, Thomas begin focusing again on his music full time. His first CD, “Golddust Magic”, featured 11 of Thomas’ original songs. A second EP "It's Never Too Late" included new original material as well as some unrecorded gems from the 1970s. "It's Never Too Late" was inspired by, and dedicated to Gordon Parks. Thomas continues to release new single material inspired by his time living in Maui. All of Thomas' music is now available at all Streaming outlets - Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.
