CBS AUSTIN

From ACL to SXSW, this soul band is on the rise in Austin and beyond! Once you hear their blues and funk-filled tunes, you'll understand why. Tomar Williams from Tomar & the FCs is joining us on the WAA stage this Music Monday!

HOUSTON PRESS

Tomar and the FCs have only been kicking it as a band since 2015, but in those four years the soul band has infected Austin with their tunes and live performances. Front man Tomar Williams says, “I can honestly say Austin has been really, really good to us, overly good to us. It’s been amazing.” The city even declared February 7, 2018 Tomar and the FCs day.

AUSTIN MONTHLY

Born in Las Vegas, Tomar Williams grew up performing in a band called Sixx AM with his parents and six siblings. They toured the Chitlin Circuit, a group of venues known for hosting blues and soul acts. The band played Antone’s when they visited Austin for the first time in 1986, and the city’s opportunities for musicians floored them.

Soon after, the family moved to the capital city, and Williams and his brother Salih began focusing on making music of their own. Eventually both were playing in Latasha Lee and the BlackTies, producing music out of a home studio for Houston rap heroes Paul Wall and Big Moe, and signing with Universal as a production team.
