VINTAGE FOLK /ALT. COUNTRY ACOUSTIC MUSIC - "THE REAL THING". Blend together Neil Young, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot and Bill Withers and you can get a sense of the style of music written and performed by Thomas Earl. Thomas has been described as, "...a gifted poet that has the ability to set it all to music in a beautiful and unforgettable way that few artists have the ability or insight to accomplish in one recording." Keith "Muzikman" Hannalek, in his review of Thomas' new CD, "Golddust Magic", has described it as, " ...a five star indulgence from start to finish." Darry Cox of KSVR radio writes: "Golddust Magic glitters with years of musical talent...check out Thomas Earl!"
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 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 Jessie Collin 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.
Three years ago, Thomas became re-inspired to begin focusing again on his music. His new CD, “Golddust Magic”, contains 11 of Thomas’ original new songs. The CD was produced by Scott Sharrard and Sean Dixon and co-produced by Joe Johnson. (You can hear a preview of three of the songs from the new CD here on Thomas' MySpace site.) These songs reflect a culmination of several decades of musical influences. As you listen to the music you may hear elements of artists ranging from Crosby, Stills and Nash and James Taylor, Tom Waits, Tom Rush, Bill Withers and Lyle Lovett, to contemporary artists such as Jack Johnson, Amos Lee or Lucinda Williams. Thomas, as most musicians, doesn’t like categorical boxes people try to place them in, but his music tends to drift between folk/rock and alt/ country…all with a natural acoustic instrument approach.
