Because sometimes there just isn’t room for everything:

The French Project

(LA MUSIQUE ROMANTIQUE) The French Project is a little bit Serge Gainsbourg, a little bit Hank Williams (if Hank Williams was not just a cowboy but an opium-smoking French cowboy). It’s a sleazy, romantic night of songs (from Dolly Parton to Prince) sung en français, featuring Erin Jorgensen (marimba, accordion), Charles Smith (autoharp, dulcimer, etc.), Basil Harris (bass), Sara Edwards (guitar), and guest musician Kirk Anderson (of “Awesome,” drums, mellifluous crooning). The Rendezvous cabaret, with its old bordello wood-and-red-velvet feel is just right venue. (Rendezvous Jewelbox Theater, 2320 Second Ave, 800-838-3006, Sun–Mon at 8 pm, $10.) BRENDAN KILEY
