Marc Broussard

Artist's Website

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. The road to this point has been longer than one would expect from an artist as young as Broussard…4 albums…countless tour miles and ovations everywhere from Austin to Bonnaroo and homecoming at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

His philanthropic cred is strong too, through donating all proceeds from the sale of his Bootleg to Benefit the Victims of Hurricane Katrina, undertaking a month-long tour of U.S. military installations in September 2007, building homes with Habitat for Humanity and donating his service as spokesperson for Louisiana’s United Way of Acadiana — all of which contributed to Hard Rock International’s decision in 2007 to present Broussard with its ‘Love All, Serve All’ Award in recognition of his multifaceted generosities.
