My first experience with Marc Broussard was through the
\ntelevision program
\nBreakfast with the Arts<\/i>. I immediately followed up with a
\ntrip to the local music store where I anxiously purchased the album<\/p>\n
Carencro<\/i>. Once home, I played and replayed “Home”, the first
\ntrack, desperately trying to completely absorb the music. It is a
\nraw, soulful tune, and Marc’s self-assured character is at its
\nstrongest on this song. He knows he delivers quality entertainment,
\nand that confidence is evident. “Home” states: “I felt the crowd
\nbreathe in and I closed my eyes, and we disappeared into the
\ngroove.” And he’s right, you can’t help but get lost in this
\nmusic.<\/p>\n
Marc grew up in a small town in Louisiana, spending hours
\nencircled with music. In the interview I heard he shared that his
\nbackground includes a great diversity of influences. He played the
\nblues with his father
\n(Ed: Ted Broussard, former guitarist with the Boogie Kings)<\/i>
\nand performed Gregorian chants in church. He has obviously learned
\nthe benefits of voice control and breath moderation. Continually
\nstriving to expound on his abilities, he seems to be unaware of any
\nlimitations, and this allows him to tackle music that others might
\nview as difficult or unrelated to their talent.<\/p>\n
\nCarencro<\/i>, although not specifically designated as such, is a
\ncollection of love song; love of family, love of home, love of
\nmusic. The track, “The Beauty of Who You Are” is sensual and
\nbluesy, and speaks of the support received from a special someone;
\nthat person that makes you believe in yourself. It’s vocally strong
\nand yet allows for the warmth of his intentions to flow
\nthrough.<\/p>\n
This album is so solid that it’s difficult to pick just a few
\nfavorites, but to add to the previously mentioned two, I will add
\n“Where You Are”. This is poetry set to music. It has a lighter,
\nairy quality but still has the ability to describe love and the
\nneed to be with the ones you cherish.<\/p>\n
You won’t find many like this gentleman. The realistic nature of
\na small hometown community has definitely played a huge role in the
\nsongs he chooses to perform. This is what makes his music sexy and
\nprovocative. He’s not afraid of stretching himself, challenging new
\nsounds, and revealing himself through his lyrics. Marc generally
\nchooses to play nightclubs. He has a desire to touch each listener
\nand perhaps the more up-close-and-personal venues appeal to his
\nalready friendly nature. He’s a wholesome man and he knows he’s a
\ntalented artist, however, he seems unaffected by the fans flocking
\nto see him play. He still trusts and depends on the truth of his
\nmusic, rather than on the hype. Perhaps this is the crux of his
\nability to draw you into the music.<\/p>\n
Marc Broussard’s ability to croon (as my grandpa used to call
\nit) is not solely based on his rich, deep voice but also on the
\nfact that he is genuinely multi-talented. You catch yourself
\nsinging along to
\nCarencro<\/i>, stumbling over the verses, yet completely
\nsatisfied and happy simply because he makes you feel as if you’re
\npart of the whole process.<\/p>\n
