Since the 1992 release of the bilingual "TEXAFRANCE", and the 2003 follow up "TEXAFRANCE-ENCORE!", Christine Albert has been enchanting audiences with The French Show, an evening of Texas/French cabaret described by The Austin American Statesman as "a waltz across Texas with Maurice Chevalier".  Albert combines her musical influences from Texas to Paris, Haggard to Piaf. 

Available as a duo with partner Chris Gage (on piano, accordion and guitar), or expanding to "The Cow Beret Orchestra" (including bass and mandolin), The French Show moves gracefully between French and English.  Christine covers songs by French icons Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel and Charles Trenet, as well as American standards with French translations, including The Man I Love, Autumn Leaves and Let It Be Me.  A touch of swing...a couple of original country heartbreak songs with a French chorus or two...some cajun grooves...Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie"...Christine Albert pushes beyond a typical cabaret act, to present a show that honestly reflects the class and charisma of this cowgirl chanteuse.

"..a woman who is part Edith Piaf, part cowgirl, and always (all ways) wonderful."

"Never committing fully to either country or cabaret, Albert has deftly created
a whole new musical category of her own."  Music City Texas
