Tomar and the FCs are a soul band from Austin, Texas. Tomar Williams got his start singing lead on the Chitlin Circuit with his family band in the late 1980s. After several decades as a side man on the Austin scene and successful work in Hip-Hop production, Tomar decided to return to his roots as a frontman in 2015. A mutual friend, Nikolas Bouklas, introduced him to a recently formed local instrumental band, the FCs, and common purpose and chemistry were apparent to both sides from the first tune.
Over the next few years, the band established themselves on the Texas and National music scenes. They were selected by NPR Music to represent Austin for the TinycDesk Concert Series, played the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL), made yearly appearances at SXSW, and were voted in the top Five of the Austin’s Chronicle’s Music Poll for Blues, Funk, and Soul. In 2019, after several national and regional tours, they signed with Houston based Splice Records and were awarded a $20,000 Black Fret Grant.
"Just give it there all every. single. time."Tomar And The FCs was the main act at Luckenbach Texas. They continue across Texas with the a stop at Luling Watermelon Thump in Luling, Texas on June 26, 2021.
"The best of the best, you gotta catch this band."
"One of the best entertainers in Austin!"
