Philanthropic Lafayette, Louisiana R&B and Soul artist Marc Broussard recorded some hard rocking blues for his 4th S.O.S. (Save Our Soul) album. Each of the S.O.S. releases have been designated for specific charities beginning with the first album. Recipients like a homeless women’s and children’s shelter or funds for a children’s hospital were previous targets. This time a significant portion of the proceeds are for the “Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation” to support youth rehabilitation through music as well as “Guitars Over Guns,” based in Miami. The album will be released on Joe Bonamassa’s “KTBA (Keeping the Blues Alive) Records”… Blues Rock Review
Marc Broussard: S.O.S.4 Blues For Your Soul
Dynamic soul singer and guitarist Marc Broussard goes deep into classic blues on his new benefit album S.O.S. 4: Blues For Your Soul. The record drops March 3rd, 2023 on Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive Records and is part of Broussard’s Save Our Soul series of fundraising releases. Broussard has a long history of charitable work and has supported many causes over the years.
The new set is a wonderful collection of blues and soul gems that will generate money for the Keeping The Blues Alive Foundation to enable youth rehabilitation through music. It’s also a partnership with Miami-based nonprofit Guitars Over Guns, an outstanding group that offers music education and mentorship to young people from vulnerable communities. Bonamassa and Josh Smith co-produced and both also appear on guitar. Other notable guests on these sessions include keyboardist Reese Wynans, guitarists Eric Krasno, Roddie Romero, Bobby Schneck Junior, vocalist JJ Grey, Broussard’s old friend bassist Calvin Turner, and harmonica ace Dennis Gruenling.
