MARC BROUSSARD

'Marc Broussard' (born January 14, 1982) is an American singer and songwriter. His style is best described as "Bayou Soul," a mix of funk, blues, R&B, rock, and pop, matched with distinct Southern roots.
The Louisiana native released his first major album, ''Carencro'', (with Island Records) on August 3, 2004. The album's title pays tribute to the musician's hometown of Carencro, Louisiana.
Broussard previously released several independent efforts, including 2002's ''Momentary Setback'' which spawned the hit "The Wanderer", a song about self discovery. A re-worked version of the song appears on ''Carencro''. In 2007, he released , an album consisting almost entirely of cover songs. The album was his first to reach the top 100 of the Billboard 200 in the U.S., debuting and peaking at #96: this had the effect of "graduating" him from the Top Heatseekers chart, which consists of albums by artists who have never reached the top 100 before.
