Antoine Bleck was featured at the July 2011 French Culture Nights event.
Antoine Bleck was born in the Northeast of France, in the Vosges mountains where all his lifewas about ski, ski and more ski… He moved to the US in 1981.
He learned to play the piano at a very young age, but didn’t start writing music until the purchase of his first keyboard at the age of 30. After 15 years writing songs in his basement, he decided to try his tunes in public with some Brazilian musicians at Opia on Monday nights. Antoine’s music is inspired by such artists as Steely Dan, Michael Franks or closer to his origins Michel Jonza, Gainsbourg or Jacques Dutronc. His style has been described as a “bluesy funky with a “je ne sais quoi” French style”. Lyrics go from hilarious to sentimental, describing moods, situations and fantasies from his adolescence.
