Marc Broussard

Atlantic Records welcomes a new addition to its storied roster, acclaimed singer/songwriter Marc Broussard. The Louisiana-based bayou soul troubadour makes his label debut with “MUST BE THE WATER,” his first collection of all-new songs since 2004’s breakthrough “CARENCRO.” The five-track EP — available online and via indie retail–is highlighted by the fuel-injected title track, which recently served as the theme for Turner Broadcasting’s on-air promotions of the 2008 NBA All-Star festivities.

The “MUST BE THE WATER” EP was recorded during Broussard’s January 2008 appearance on the Rock Boat VIII, the annual five-day music festival at sea. Eager to release new material in advance of recording his next album, Broussard and his band opted to capture their live energy via the simplest possible means. As the cruise traveled the Caribbean - making stops in Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, Jamaica - Marc utilized a bare-bones studio set-up to record the EP’s five tracks, all while leading a multi-artist concert line up which also included Toad The Wet Sprocket, Sons of William, and many others.

“We knew it would be a tough task, but we got more than we bargained for,” says Broussard. “With electrical surges, hard drive crashes, high seas, vocal ailments and other Rock Boat shenanigans, we all had doubts about whether or not we’d be able to pull it off. Thankfully we didn’t give up and the band played on!”
