Thomas Truax

11th October 2025

Ramsgate Music Hall

A delightful blend of homemade instruments, live guitar looping and enchanting storytelling at the Ramsgate Music Hall

7.30pm - 11pm

Thomas Truax is an inventive American songwriter who makes music that takes you on a whimsical and unpredictable sonic journey. His live performances captivate audiences with a delightful blend of homemade instruments, live guitar looping, and enchanting storytelling.

His unique self-made ‘band mates’ include a motorized drum machine made of bike wheels, spoons and other found items called ‘Mother Superior‘ and a souped up Gramophone called ‘The Hornicator’

Armed with these and a guitar named Hank, he writes poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, love, and a lifelong fascination with the Moon. His music evades easy pigeonholing, dancing between art rock, post-punk, touches of 50s rockabilly and a distinct brand of surreal Americana.

Ten studio LPs include a highly-rated covers album ‘Songs From The Films Of David Lynch’.

‘Dream Catching Songs,’ features renowned drummer Budgie (Siouxsie & the Banshees, the Slits, The Creatures) thundering along side Truax’s self-made mechanical drummer Mother Superior.

A string of new singles are in the pipeline for release coinciding with upcoming tour dates.

Though he usually performs solo, other notable past supporters and collaborators have included Jarvis Cocker, Duke Special, James Smith of Yard Act, Richard Hawley, Bob Log III, Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls/Violent Femmes) and the late author Terry Pratchett.
