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.
Marc Broussard brings to the congregation that soul, rock, pop also known as “Bayou Soul”. His voice is painful, telling what sounds like real stories through the medium of music. Tonight, this bearded songwriter performs songs from throughout his career, highlighting his most recent work. “Hurricane Heart” is the song that brings a vibe of bittersweet to this room tonight, his voice is gravelly, with a taste of a slow vibrato colouring in his tone with all the right components to move and impress the listener at the same time. He performs today on an acoustic guitar accompanied by a pianist who plays almost to counter Broussard’s voice throughout this set. “Shine” is the song that builds from the start into a stunning climax where lyrically it sounds as though he is touching on seasonal affected depression! He ends the song singing notes as high as Prince but as gravelly as Van Morrison. “Honesty” is such a good set closer, with his guitar in an alternative tuning. Hands down, one of the best finds this year. Hat’s off Marc Broussard.
