ABOUT TOMAR AND 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 music producer and sideman, he returned to the front of the stage in 2015 with the FCs and has spent the last decade earning a reputation as one of Austin's best live bands. They've played ACL Fest, SXSW, Bonnaroo, and Old Settlers, and their 2025 album Soul Searching on Tenwik Records is their best work yet. Full band, horns and all. Soul music done right.
ABOUT NAKIA & THE NEVER NOT NOW
Austin's Nakia & The Never Not Now deliver a powerhouse blend of electric, modern soulful rock, driven by deep grooves, soaring harmonies, and an electrifying stage presence. Fronted by Nakia, a consummate showman known for his commanding vocals and dynamic performances, the band fuses vintage soul, gritty rock, and cinematic synthesizers into a sound that's both timeless and cutting-edge. With Benjamin Howard on bass, Andy Nolte on keys, Travis Deardorff and Jon Sanchez on guitar, and Danny Piccuirro on drums, this is some of Austin's finest. Quit fucking around. Come find out.
