French Crooner Antoine Bleck Performs at the Embassy of France
- Full Price:
- $15.00
- Our Price:
- $7.50
Born in the Northeast of France, singer Antoine Bleck has been making a name for himself in New York for the better part of a decade. With two albums under his belt, the self-proclaimed "French Crooner" frequently performs at Big Apple hotspots like Joe's Pub and Feinstein's, delivering his signature mix of romanticism and wit, jazzy pop and bluesy, funky crooning. A sort of modern take on the likes of Serge Gainsbourg or Jacques Dutronc, Bleck also draws inspiration from such diverse artists as Steely Dan and Michael Franks. Learn More

It was OK. It was very crowded and the food lines were really long. Not enough tables to sit down.Written on Feb 14 2012

The event was not as elegant as I had hoped. There were long lines all evening for food and beverage; so long that we in fact did not ever get to the main dinner buffet. We made do with appetizers and dessert. Standing in line is not elegant!Written on Feb 14 2012

Over all this was a very nice event. The food was decent but not great. The desserts were by far the best part. The music was nice and really added to the atmosphere. The biggest issue was the number of people there. There was WAY more people than there were seats so it was very difficult to find a place to sit. Also, while I was lucky and got in the food line early, others were waiting in line hours after the event had started. The same was true for the line at the bar.Written on Feb 13 2012

This event was a lot of fun but my husband and I spent a lot of time waiting in lines for food and drinks. There wasn't enough dinner for everyone and we got the last bits. We never got dessert. I'd go again but I would eat dinner before going. It was priced right, though, for what we got. I would have been more upset had we paid the full amount ($200 for 2).Written on Feb 13 2012
