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.
Tomar and his “funky Caucasians” the FCs have been steadily growing a fan base here in Houston starting with monthly shows at Big Top Charlie’s, coinciding with Fistful of Soul, and eventually filling the Continental Club, where they will return this weekend. The band has even recently signed with Houston’s Splice Records further cementing their ties to Houston.
Williams has lived many facets of the music business in his long career. He was raised in a musical family, constantly playing music with his six siblings and frequently touring the famous Chitlin’ Circuit from the young age of 11. His parents are musicians and music dominated their household.
