Marc Broussard
Famed Louisiana musical phenom Marc Broussard is an artist with "a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock and soul into contemporary terms," notes one reviewer. Broussard's gift has been widely acclaimed since 2002, when he released his debut album, Momentary Setback, which he recorded and released independently at age 20. It was no secret at that time that he inherited his dad's musical genes - Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard, of the legendary The Boogie Kings. Marc was known to sit in with his father's band from the tender age of 5 and belt out, among other hits, "Johnny B. Goode." And that was just the beginning.
In 2004, he released his major-label debut Carencro, after the Louisiana town where he was born and raised, and its thematic centerpiece was a deep Bayou soul number called "Home". That album and the ones that followed revealed Broussard as an old-school Southern soul singer blessed with "a rarefied talent, plus innate stylistic and emotional authenticity."
Marc's upcoming release Home (The Dockside Sessions) is many of the audio tracks from the various videos Broussard has compiled over the course of his career, all of them recorded live at Dockside Studios near his Lafayette, Louisiana home. The album includes a telling remake of Broussard's signature song.
