The son of Boogie Kings guitarist (and Louisiana Hall of Fame member) Ted Broussard, 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 voice of a John Hiatt or a Dr. John, Broussard was barely 20 at the time of his first album’s release. “I want to take what was beautiful and right about old-school soul and make it alive again,” says Marc Broussard, whose vibrant, upbeat new album S.O.S.: Save Our Soul is being released on Vanguard Records on June 26.
