[citation needed] Brosseau moved to Los Angeles in 2003, and began performing at the renowned club Largo, where he met siblings Sara and Sean Watkins of the band Nickel Creek.

Sean Watkins recorded both Brosseau's albums North Dakota Impressions (2016) and Grass Punks (2014), which included the song "We Were Meant To Be Together" and was later featured in the original Netflix series Love.

Brosseau said: The trilogy visits life from a local perspective, taking the listener on a journey that doesn't clip along uniformly on some common interstate, but treads at its own pace on a rural route.

[9]Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Brosseau had been developing a weekly radio program with Prairie Public in Fargo, North Dakota as both lead writer and host that focused on the arts, called The Great American Folk Show.

The pilot was pitched in December 2019, and the show premiered on-air on May 3, 2020 with actor John C. Reilly, North Dakota food columnist Marilyn Hagerty, artist Penni Emrich Burkum, and musicians Tom Lennon and Heidi Gluck.

[10] Since then, The Great American Folk Show has featured over 600 artists, storytellers, musicians, authors, chefs, diner owners, curlers, painters, opera house caretakers and poets.

Musical guests include Sean Watkins, Gianna Ferilli, Cindy Wasserman, Andru Bemis, Shelley Short, Ethan Rose, Doug Schulkind of WFMU’s Give The Drummer Some, Dominque Arciero, Jermey Backofen, Adam Pierce, Gregory Page, and Chel White.
