Bio
After spending 17 years teaching in small town Texas, Tres Womack began to share his songwriting with the rest of Texas. What he found were thousands of "built-in" fans from...his classroom. Former students continue to be his biggest supporters showing up at shows around the state. They had no idea Womack was returning to music after a 15 year hiatus. They'd never heard about performances in Texas dancehalls during the "Urban Cowboy" heyday. Very few knew anything of his past because those dreams had been traded for a family and career in teaching. His younger brothers (Sons of the Desert) provided the guitar and soon he was fronting his own three-piece band. Womack then joined forces with the Getocowboys in 2007. In 2008 they released "Hard Luck Symphany" and still receive airlplay around the world. That same year, Womack released his debut CD "Freak Show." These days, you can find Tres Womack in Austin landmarks as Saxon Pub, Momo's, and Nutty Brown Cafe with his newest project "The Chubby Knuckle Choir".
He's currently recording his next solo project along with an EP with Chubby Knuckle. Womack was nominated for two Academy of Texas Awards in 2009, earning "Song of the Year" honors for "Gather 'round" off of Freak Show.
