Full Interview With Marc Broussard

What does it mean to take this album back out on tour at THIS point in your career?

"It never left the tour. These songs have been mainstays from Jump Street."

If you could go back 20 years what's one thing you'd tell young Marc Broussard?

"Stop trying to be cool. You're not cool. You're okay and that's fine. Not everyone is destined for the cool club."

You mentioned there will be multiple Louisiana dates...is there any possibility that you could do a show IN Carencro?

"The plan, as of now, is to have a big throw-down at Pelican Park to wrap up everything. Who knows, it may turn into an annual event!"
