♪ From the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, it's The Kate.

MARC: I've lived on the same street for now 35 years.

The Broussard family has been part of what's called the Grand Dérangement, which is the exile of the French Acadian people out of Nova Scotia by the British.

♪ Goin' down the road, goin' nowhere ♪ ♪ Guitar packed in the trunk ♪ They sailed on a boat to the mouth of the Mississippi River and there was a French and Spanish infrastructure there.

The Frenchmen in New Orleans said there's a cattle baron just to the west in Saint Martinville, Louisiana, and if you find him he'll give you some land and a job.

So they were in the Swamp for a couple hundred years.

The culture that we have is so rich and so strong throughout the region.

It's a potent, potent mixture of cuisine and music and family that is truly unique in this country.

♪ C'mon, Pop, take a ride ♪ My father is an outstanding musician.

In fact, it's been quite intimidating throughout my life.

He told me at 12 years old when I started playing guitar, "When I was your age I was practicing six, "eight hours a day."

And I was like, "Well, I think I'm gonna be a singer, Dad."

♪ Come on now, take me home ♪ I stepped away from major record labels about three and a half years ago.

And it coincided with the approach of my 33rd birthday.

And I don't know why, but I was getting this inner pull to start getting more involved with philanthropy.

I decided to start the SOS Foundation.

The first project that we put out, S.O.S.II, is 50's and 60's soul covers with all proceeds going to benefit a group out of Atlanta called City of Refuge, that does incredibly comprehensive work with women and children who are living on the streets.

I've wanted to do something right karmically.

I wanted to make sure we were stepping out from the major label system with the right karmic stance.

♪ Got to, got to, got to get it ♪ I'm having a ball.

I'm enjoying the heck out of myself.

And, and I'm only getting more and more creative as time goes on.

So yeah, I'm, I love it.

Yea-a-a-ah!

I originally wrote it in a very different perspective.

It was, it was originally, ♪ "So lucky you found me" ♪ It just didn't have quite the same, the same ring to it.

The wife was not happy when she heard it.

I had to go back to the drawing board on that one.

I as a man have changed dramatically since that time.

When I signed at Island Def Jam I thought I had arrived.

I thought that I was, that I was on the gravy train that was gonna run forever.

And I didn't have my eye on the ball very much.

Just as a man I've matured substantially since I was 20 years old, and what that has translated to is a dramatic difference I think in the approach that I have to writing songs, the intent with which I step out onto the stage or the intent with which I open my mouth and deliver a lyric.

♪ Sunday morning crashin' down ♪ I do thoroughly enjoy performing.

I believe that I was built to go out on the road.

My wife and I have four children.

She is my childhood sweetheart.

I'm more in love with her now than I've ever been.

And so leaving home for long stretches is a very, very difficult thing to do.

One of the most important messages to young artists is, don't ever consider records as a source of revenue for you.

Don't count on it.

If you don't count on it, then when it does come, it's lagniappe right, it's extra, it's extra bread, and you can feed into a retirement account.

Build your business on live entertainment.

It's a job that people like myself have had for millennia, right?

If it was 3000 years ago and I had a nice, sweet little voice, they'd invite me to come over, whoever just had a nice kill, they'd say, "Hey, you come over.

We've got this kill.

"Or come sing for us, you know?"

So guys like me have been performing and making a living at that for, since, you know, since the dawn of man.
