Mike Broussard: The 23 Year Old Voice From 1975

Mike Broussard is only 23 years old, but his voice sounds like it came straight out of classic country’s golden era. In this episode of Tigs Bits, Mike joins the show along with Traveling with Terin for a conversation about Louisiana music, old school country, social media, stage fright, family roots, and the grind behind building a music career the right way. Mike shares the wild story of how Randy Travis’s team reached out after hearing him online, the trip to Meridian that did not exactly go as planned, and how he handled the whole thing without letting it break his spirit. He also talks about growing up in a South Louisiana music family, overcoming stage fright, playing shows several nights a week, running his music like a business, and writing his single “There Will Be No Flowers.” Terin also shares stories from filming The Fois, including playing a swamp witch and walking into a Mexican restaurant still covered in fake blood. We also get into classic country influences, Louisiana food debates, jar roux vs homemade roux, crawfish, gumbo, steak sauce, embarrassing moments, and the songs that feel like the soundtrack of their lives.
