Tomar Williams got his start singing lead on the Chitlin Circuit with his family band in the late 1980s. In 2015, after several decades as a music producer and side-man, Tomar decided to return to his roots as a frontman. He was introduced to a local instrumental band, the FCs, and Tomar and the FCs was born.
Over the last decade, the band has earned a reputation as one of Austin’s best live bands with regular performances at iconic venues like the Continental Club, C-Boys, and Antone’s and multiple Austin Music Awards. They have toured all over the country and have performed at ACL Music Festival, Old Settlers Music Festival, River Revival, SXSW, and Bonnaroo.
Tomar and the FCs have four recordings, the EP Day by Day, and albums Heart Attack, Rise Above, and their latest, Soul Searching, which was released on Tenwick Records in February of 2025.
