Beginning in 2005, Thomas Maddux started to play with minor chords 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, Russian folk stories, the cabaret, and people long forgotten with troubled minds with disturbed souls. Joining him now is His Traveling Circus which is composed of Cody D. Fitzpatrick I on Percussion, Tom Reinert on Bass, Aleko Loughrey on Guitar, Jonah the Destroyer on Melodica, Clarinet, and Saw, Turkeyes Laffity with her back-up vocals, and Tyler Nordmark on Brass.
