Marc Broussard

The son of Boogie Kings guitarist (and Louisiana Hall of Fame member) Ted Broussard, singer/songwriter Marc Broussard was seemingly destined for a life as a music man. His upbringing in Lafayette, Louisiana instilled in him an affinity for R&B alongside the Cajun trappings of southern Louisiana. Drawing vocal and stylistic influence from Otis Redding and Brian McKnight while bearing the preternaturally gruff vocals of John Hiatt and Dr. John, Broussard was barely 20 when his indie debut Momentary Setback appeared in 2002. He spent the next decade cycling through major labels, starting with 2004's Carencro and concluding with A Life Worth Living ten years later, then settled into a groove on the G-Man Records, regularly releasing records in his charity series S.O.S. (Save Our Soul), including such thematic albums as 2019's A Lullaby Collection and 2023's Blues for Your Soul. Born in Carencro, Louisiana on January 14, 1982, and raised in Lafayette, Broussard grew up around music thanks to his father Ted. When he was in his late teens, Marc decided to pursue music professionally. He first played in a Christian band called Y, then set out on his own with the rootsy Momentary Setback in 2002. Released to encouraging reviews on the independent Ripley Records label in September 2002, Momentary Setback helped Broussard get a deal with Island/Def Jam. With Island's support, doors began to open for Broussard. "Just Like That," a track from the Momentary Setback album, was culled for inclusion in the 2003 Lost and Found, Vol. 1 compilation alongside such artists as Ryan Adams and the Jayhawks; that same year, Broussard also appeared on a Bruce Springsteen tribute album, Light of Day, with the track "Back in Your Arms." He went on the road later in 2003, where he served as opening act for the Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, and fellow singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw. Carencro, a sophomore album named after Broussard's hometown, was issued by Island in 2004, and he made the jump from Island to Atlantic four years later for the release of Keep Coming Back. He became a road dog after the album's release, opening for and sharing stages not only with Maroon 5 and the Dave Matthews Band but with Willie Nelson, O.A.R., and Bonnie Raitt. In March of 2011, two songs, "Lucky" and "Only Everything," were issued for digital download as a precursor to his Jamie Kenney-produced self-titled album, which appeared in July and signaled his move to the Vanguard label. It was followed in 2014 by Life Worth Living, a more stripped-down effort that drew raves from critics. In September of 2016, he announced that 50-percent of the sales of his S.O.S. II album would go to charities that primarily served the homeless and hometown organizations like City of Refuge; he carried through on this precedent on future albums in the S.O.S. series, choosing a different charity to benefit with each release. Released in 2017 on G-Man, Easy to Love placed inside the Top 25 on the Top Independent Albums chart. A live album called Home (The Dockside Sessions) arrived in 2019, as did the family album S.O.S. 3: A Lullaby Collection. Featuring Joe Bonamassa on three tracks, S.O.S. 4: Blues for Your Soul arrived early in 2023; the album also featured cameos by Bobby Junior, J.J. Grey, Eric Krasno, and Roddie Romero.
