biography
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, LA, 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 at the time of his first album's release. Momentary Setback appeared to encouraging reviews on the independent Ripley Records label in September 2002. Soon afterwards, the young musician inked 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 Americana 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 spent the autumn of 2003 on the road, where he served as opening act for Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, and fellow singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw. Carencro, a sophomore album named after Broussard's hometown, was issued by Island Records in 2004, and Broussard made the jump from Island to Atlantic Records four years later for the release of Keep Coming Back. ~ Joseph McCombs, All Music Guide

- I don't know you but have to agree...I've seen him 3 times in the past year and am going to see him again in February and he will also be playing here in New Orleans for the Jazz Fest...along with Ben Harper and DMB to name a few more. The first time I saw him was at a hostel in Lafayette...the absolute best show I've ever seen. There were only a few hundred people there and after the show he came down and had drinks with me and my wife. Funny story...I was wearing a Jonny Lang t-shirt and asked Marc if he would sign it...he was like 'Me and Jonny are cool and shit, but if you want me to sign somethin' your're gonna have to get one of my shirts'...LOL so I did and he did...LOVE IT
CAN'T WAIT FOR JAZZ FEST!!! - Be the first person to rate this comment!

- I've been a Marc Broussard fanboy since back in '03. Last week I finally got to see him perform live and it was incredible! The man has an amazing stage presence. The show was incredible! Sometimes i'll find an artist who sounds amazing on their cd, but whose live performance leaves something to be desired...not the case with Marc Broussard. I'd have to say that his music and voice are even more powerful when he's performing live.
So, to summarize: Marc Broussard = awesomeness!!! - 1 out of 1 people
