About Tomar Williams & The FCs: Tomar Williams got his start singing lead on the Chitlin Circuit with his family band in the late 1980s. After decades as a respected side man on the Austin scene and successful work in Hip-Hop production, Tomar returned to his roots as a frontman in 2015. When mutual friend Nikolas Bouklas introduced him to the recently formed instrumental band, the FCs, the chemistry was instant. The Austin American Statesman praised their first EP "Day by Day," writing that "Williams shows his own soul chops with searing vocals that drip with blood, sweat and tears." Their second full-length record "Rise Above" was released in February 2020 on Splice Records. The Austin Chronicle noted that "Williams today notches four full decades of performance and finally hits his stride north of 50." Known as one of Austin's best live acts, they're favorites at iconic venues like The Continental Club, Antone's, and The White Horse.

About Mama Funk: This is the perfect band to bring the funk! With high energy and a kickin' horn section, Mama Funk plays 70's Classic Funk, Rock and Blues, drawing inspiration from Little Feat, Chicago, Herbie Hancock, The Commodores, Temptations, and more. Get ready to dance to "Play That Funky Music," "Brick House," and many more classics!
