NB This Monday Dec 14th, due to the holiday parties, the French Crooner plays at 9:30pm

Antoine Bleck is The French Crooner.

You know there are two sorts of superheros: the Player who knows he’s got the superpowers, gets all the girls and has this “I know I have it” look in his eye and then there is the Underdog – who is a superhero but unbeknown to himself – who always seems surprised of the success he has, has The Girl and that “what are you talking about” look.

Antoine is of the second kind. He is devilishly charming, understated, not really shy but refreshingly private (to NY standards!). The lyrics of his songs share openly and without sentimentality, his doubts and unfinished dreams and gives you the chance every Monday to indulge in that French “je ne sais quoi’ mood thanks to his great talent.

By the way, Opia is a place that immediately feels comfortable. There is no minimum cover for his concerts and it’s quite nice not to have to wait for two hours for the group to show up which is now the case each time I’ve been to one lately!

My favorite song is Cite des anges and you can listen to all of them on his website or on itunes. And for SheisFrench, Antoine shares his most sexy picture!
