Marc Broussard & His Band with guest Kristopher James
November 29, 2018 @ 8:00 pm
$26.50 – $36.50
“Few modern voices are as powerful as Marc Broussard’s soulful bayou-bred baritone.” – The Washington Times
“A blue-eyed soul singer with a broad, soulful voice nicely scraped around the edges. Somewhere between country and soul, he slipped through the crack which has left him coldly, and wrongly, underappreciated.” – The New York Times
Marc Broussard is an artist with a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock and soul into contemporary terms. His father, Louisiana Hall of Famer guitarist of “The Boogie Kings,” nurtured Marc’s musical gifts at an early age, and the vibrant Lafayette, Louisiana music scene gave Marc the opportunity to practice his craft consistently from childhood through early adulthood. He still lives in Louisiana today.
After releasing a successful independent EP at age 20, Marc signed a record deal with Island Records. Marc’s song “Home” was successful on radio and catapulted him onto the national touring stage. His music has been placed in may TV shows and movies. Marc released multiple albums with major labels over the next 10 years, but has recently returned to his independent roots. Being an independent artist allows Marc to release more content and truly tap into his creative spirit.
Marc released a soul covers album, appropriately titled Save Our Soul 2, for charity on September 30, 2016 and donated 50% of the profits to City of Refuge. The live performance video of the acoustic version of “Cry to Me” from the album has garnered over 5 million views on YouTube.
Marc’s latest original release, Easy to Love, was released on September 15, 2017. The lead single off the album “Don’t Be Afraid to Call Me” was featured on “Rolling Stone Country” and has received significant airplay on “Sirius XM: The Highway.” Marc continues to tour in support of the album to sold-out crowds around the US and is constantly tapped to play Blues, Soul and Jazz Festivals.
From the “Friendly City” of Bradenton, Florida, alt-folk troubadour Kristopher James channels the balanced line of life, love, doubts and hopes in the same vein as “kindred musical spirit to artists like Gavin DeGraw and Amos Lee.” (Creative Loafing Tampa) “James calls to mind such notable acoustic singer/songwriters as Jackson Browne and Jason Isbell, and the growth he shows … continues to make the case that Kristopher James is perhaps the most interesting local musician on the scene.” (The Bradenton Times)
