Austin's country chanteuse whose French music has been described as "a waltz across Texas with Maurice Chevalier".
Originally from upstate New York and later Santa Fe, New Mexico, Christine Albert moved to Austin, Texas in 1982. Since that time she has evolved into the consummate “Texas Chanteuse”, combining her musical influences from Texas to Paris, Haggard to Piaf.
Christine’s French grandmother lived in Paris and her mother was born in Switzerland, so she was surrounded by the French language and culture throughout her childhood. In a Santa Fe high school French class she discovered the music of Edith Piaf and the sounds of a Parisian café began to show up in the music of this country/folk singer-songwriter. Throughout her career she has continued to move naturally and gracefully between the genres.
When Christine is not donning her chanteuse chapeau, she is one half of the acclaimed Americana duo, Albert and Gage.
