Broussard’s thriving solo career began in the form of a re-worked version of a song called “The Wanderer”, which was released on an album through Island Records called “Carencro”. The title comes from Broussard’s hometown. It was in 2007 that Broussard released “S.O.S: Save Out Soul”, an album made up of covers. It made it to number 96 in the Billboard 200 charts. Following this, he released “Must Be The Water EP” which was recorded on the Rock Boat VII in January 2008. It became Broussard’s debut release on the major label, Atlantic in 2007.
His song “Home” featured in TV shows such as Clash of the Choirs. Another, “Must Be the Water” was the theme song for the 2008 NBA All-Star Game. Around this era, he performed on a variety of late night shows, helping to garner an increasingly widespread and loyal fanbase. He was then to release his third full-length album, “Keep Coming Back”.
Broussard released his following eponymous album on June 14th 2011. The album featured the singles, “Lucky” and “Only Everything”. The following year he signed to Vanguard Records. On his new label he released an album called “Live from Full Sail University” on April 9th 2013, which went to number 27 on the US Rock Charts.
I've been hooked on Marc Broussard since 2004 when he opened for Los Lonely Boys (I won free tickets to the show from my job). I got the chance to meet Marc after his performance outside as they were loading up their van and he signed my CD that I had just bought. I instantly fell in Love with his Southern charm and humbling demeanor. This is probably my 10th time seeing him perform live and I am still in love. His music comes from the depths of his soul and makes you want to dance, sing, cry and hum right along with him. This was my first time seeing MingoFishtrap and boy oh boy they rocked my world too! The lead singer's pipes were right up there with Marc's! I am an instant fan! At times I felt like I was right in the middle of New Orleans just jamming away. I am very thankful that many moons ago I chose to show up early for a concert that I really had no intention on going to...and also very thankful for Marc continuing to put his heart out there with his music. Oh and also this was my first time at the Rex Theatre and I really enjoyed the set up, the tilted floor is a must at any concert venue...if only the rest of the Pittsburgh venues would pick up on that. Can't wait till next time! :) Lacey Cwynar
