Where

Devil’s Backbone Tavern · Fischer, Texas

Lineup / admission

1–4 p.m. · free · all ages

Devil’s Backbone Tavern’s official event page lists a 1 p.m. start and describes the performance as a free show running until 4 p.m. The listing also marks the event all ages and gives the address as 4041 FM 32, Fischer, Texas 78623.

The event page does not publish a separate door time, numeric remaining-capacity count or reserved-seating promise. Because this guide is being published the morning of the show, recheck the official listing before traveling rather than relying on a screenshot or an older social post.

Lineup / admission

No published capacity count

The organizer’s copy says “FREE Show 1–4 PM,” while the same landing page includes a ticket button. Trackside is not interpreting that interface as a paid admission price, a reservation requirement or proof that unlimited space remains.

If attending depends on immediate admission, an accessible arrival arrangement or another detail that is not stated publicly, confirm it with the venue. The official page is the most reliable place to catch a late schedule or access update.

Artist

Tomar Williams returned to the frontman role in 2015

When

Band formed in 2015

Where

Austin, Texas

Sound

Seven-piece funk and soul band

The band’s official biography says Tomar Williams began singing lead with his family on the Chitlin Circuit in the late 1980s. After years working as a producer and sideman, he met the instrumental group that became the FCs and returned to fronting a band in 2015.

KUTX’s 2025 Studio 1A interview documents the group’s collaborative writing process: the FCs often build the groove, Williams develops melody and lyrics, and drummer Paul Kresowik helps edit the material. The band told KUTX that the initials originally stood for “Funky Condiments.”

The official biography documents the Austin-to-festival path

Austin and national stages

Sound

Continental Club · Antone’s · Bonnaroo

Tomar & The FCs’ own biography names regular Austin appearances at the Continental Club, C-Boy’s and Antone’s, along with festival performances at ACL Music Festival, Old Settler’s, River Revival, SXSW and Bonnaroo.

That history helps place today’s smaller Hill Country afternoon set in context. It does not imply that another artist, opening act or guest is part of the October 3 bill; the current event page names only Tomar & The FCs.

The album page says the band began developing the record in 2021 and spent four years refining it. It frames the sound around late-1960s and early-1970s soul while addressing the emotional swings of the preceding decade.

Details

Recorded and mixed by Andy Tenberg

The published credits name guitarist Andy Tenberg and drummer Paul Kresowik as producers, Tenberg as recording and mix engineer at Summervale Sound Recording, and JJ Golden as mastering engineer. The page also lists the core band and additional horn, string, percussion and vocal contributors.

Those credits apply to Soul Searching. They do not establish today’s exact stage lineup beyond the organizer’s description of Tomar & The FCs as a seven-piece band.
