About the Artists
Marc Broussard nurtured his musical gifts at an early age in the vibrant Lafayette, Louisiana, music scene. After releasing a highly successful independent EP at age 20, he made his major-label debut with Carencro. The album featured the breakout hit “Home” and propelled him into the international spotlight. In addition to eight albums of original music, Broussard has released several charitable cover albums via his S.O.S. Foundation (Save our Soul). S.O.S.4: Blues for Your Soul, his collaboration with blues icon Joe Bonamassa, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart. His most recent releases are 2024’s Time Is a Thief, a collection of 10 original tunes that showcase his gritty, rootsy hooks and infectious grooves, and his fifth S.O.S. album, subtitled Songs of the '50s. Released in February 2026, S.O.S. V includes 11 intoxicating renditions of soul, blues, rock, and pop classics from the 1950s, two gems from the early ’60s, and a Broussard original.
More than a mere practitioner of her craft, Cristina Vane has a breadth and depth of serious musical skill, compiled from countless miles across all kinds of geography. On her third studio album, Hear My Call, the pairing of a lifetime pursuit and growing treasure trove of songs makes for a record that demands to be heard. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Vane's sound reflects an amalgam of experiences; born at the foothills of the Alps in Italy and raised between Italy, England, and France, her half-American/half-Guatemalan heritage is as unique as her sound. She unapologetically blends her rock roots with her passion for pre-war blues, old-time banjo, country, and bluegrass. Since her time busking on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and working at McCabe’s Guitar Shop, this deft multi-instrumentalist has sharpened her fingerstyle/slide guitar and clawhammer banjo skills and merged it with crystalline vocals, captivating songwriting, and an entrancing stage presence. Vane has provided direct support for Molly Tuttle, Bob Weir, Jerry Douglas, Wynonna Judd, Sam Bush, Nikki Lane, Town Mountain, Duane Betts, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Arlo McKinley, and Willi Carlisle.
