About the Artist
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Marc Broussard has built a career defined by soulful authenticity, critical praise, and a deep commitment to giving back. Raised in Louisiana as the son of Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard, he emerged from the Lafayette music scene with a distinctive blend of Southern soul, blues, and rock. His major-label debut *Carencro*—featuring the breakout hit “Home”—launched him onto the international stage and established a sound that critics continue to celebrate.
Media accolades underscore his impact: NPR praised that “his music radiates soulful Louisiana blues… blending influences with raucous rock ‘n’ roll to create unique and infectious music,” while *The Washington Times* declared, “Few modern voices are as powerful as Marc Broussard’s soulful, Bayou-bred baritone.” His recent album *Time Is a Thief* has been hailed by *Blues Rock Review* as “a new masterwork,” with *The Advocate* noting it best captures his soul and R&B roots.
Broussard’s philanthropic *S.O.S.* (Save Our Soul) series further elevates his legacy. His collaboration with Joe Bonamassa on *S.O.S. 4: Blues for Your Soul* debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart, reflecting both artistic and commercial success. Through the S.O.S. Foundation, he has raised funds for organizations including United Way and Habitat for Humanity, continuing a mission that began with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
With a voice celebrated by critics and a career marked by chart success, powerful collaborations, and meaningful philanthropy, Broussard stands as one of modern soul’s most compelling and respected artists.
