Marc Broussard will perform songs from his recently released self-titled album live at Mountain Stage on February 12th. The Louisiana native successfully made the unusual move from the Delta-flavored country of 20042s Carencro to a retro-soul influenced pop style with his recent releases. The stand out track of Marc Broussard by far is the bluesy [...]

Georgia On My Mind is most commonly associated with Ray Charles. It appears on every tribute album to Ray, and Willie Nelson (who recorded the song in 1978) sang it at his funeral. But Georgia was a standard long before Ray Charles made it his own. It was written by Hoagy Carmichael and lyricist Stuart Gorrell in 1930. The story goers that the Georgia of the title was originally intended to refer to Hoagy's sister, but realising that Gorell's words could apply also to the southern US state, the writers were happy to keep things ambiguous. The plan [...]

Like father, like son -- for Louisiana-based blue eyed soul singer, making music runs in the family genes. Marc Broussard was discovered singing and playing guitar on a street corner in Lafayette, La., after he arrived late for a slot as an opening act. Since that time, he's been an in demand performer, as his energetic stage presence and vocal prowess are strong points for the Cajun born, blue-eyed soul singer. And he's a talented songwriter whose personal, emotional touches and genuine R&B influences have deservedly brought him this far. Marc Broussard, his...

By Michael Zonenashvili As a couple of twenty-one year olds going into the elevator to the Pool Deck of the Empire Hotel, my friend and I felt a little out of place. We could have been going up there to see Kanye West and it would still be doubtful that we weren't just two kids going upstairs to try to sneak into a cool part of a cool hotel. Fortunately, the small group of people upstairs at the Empire Hotel...
Since 20092s Begone Dull Care , we've hung to nearly every word we could on Junior Boys . Now, with the new album headlining the week's list, it's time to let everyone in on the secret: electronic music works, but it's all about knowing how to slow the tempo down and keep things moving. It's All True packs that punch of sped-up beats trickled around a simmered, synthetic groove. Owl City on the other hand, with All Things Bright & [...]

This guy! Talk about commanding the stage. Marc Broussard 's newest album, "Marc Broussard" is due to be released in June 2011. An early release called "Marc Broussard EP" was released March 22, 2011 and features the new singles Lucky and Only Everything which I got to hear live during his Uptown performance. With distinct Southern roots, Marc's style is best described as "Bayou Soul" seamlessly blending a mix of funk, blues and electrifying personality that makes it hard to forget that he isn't a friend you've known your whole life.

Concept albums and big themes aside, sometime making a new album is simply as gathering up your best new songs and heading into the studio. For Marc Broussard , the versatile Louisiana bayou troubadour, tackling his fifth studio album in almost a decade can be somewhat summed up by the simple eponymous title -- nothing fancy, no bells and whistles...just good honest, finely crafted songs delivered in the southern pop/soul vein that he wears as comfortably as a good pair of jeans. "I wasn't on a mission," Broussard says matter-of-factly. "This album was just about putting out really strong [...]

Trombone Shorty at Virgin Free Fest (09/15/10) Photo : Jon Klemm Andrews and his bandmates, Orleans Avenue, spent nearly an hour effortlessly leap-frogging among nimble jazz, classic New Orleans brass, viscous funk, silky soul - they even puffed their chests out for a take on Lil Wayne's "Lollipop." But audience members didn't move their leaden feet until Andrews and company fled the stage and ventured out into the field for a grand finale march. As the musicians paraded up the hill bleating righteously, fans [...]
