Tommy Womack (born November 20, 1962 in Sturgis, Kentucky) is an American singer-songwriter and author.
Womack played with the band Government Cheese from 1985 to 1992. He later joined the Bis-quits, which released one album on Oh Boy Records in 1993.
Womack released his first solo album, Positively Na-Na, in 1998, followed by another one, Stubborn, two years later. In 2002, he released Circus Town, his third solo album. Womack and his band released an album in 2003 entitled Washington, D.C., which was recorded live in an XM Satellite Radio studio. In 2007, he released There, I Said It!, which became his biggest success. The album's success led to Womack receiving glowing reviews from the national press and offers for international gigs. He followed it with the 2012 album, Now What!, which contained songs about a wide variety of topics, such as family life and the perils of road life.
Womack's songs have been recorded by Jimmy Buffett, Jason Ringenberg, Dan Baird, David Olney, Todd Snider, Kevin Fowler, Scott Kempner, and others.
He is the author of two books, the first being an autobiographical account of his time with Government Cheese, titled "Cheese Chronicles: the True Story of a Rock Band You've Never Heard Of" and the second being "Lavender Boys and Elsie".
Womack is married; his wife works for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. They live in Nashville with their teenage son and pets. In June 2015, he was injured in a car crash in Sonora, Kentucky, when his Nissan Sentra was broadsided by a tractor trailer. The crash broke four bones in his pelvis, and he was still recovering from the accident as of September that year.
