(The Downeaster) Alexa Ray Joel
$12.00
OK, this show is not cool, but seeing Billy Joel at the Mercury Lounge (on stage or off) might be cool. After checking her website and searching in earnest for the name of a label, I discovered that her debut EP, Sketches, is self-released and independently distributed. Now, you would think the old man has enough clout to land her a deal somewhere, but who knows, maybe he told her to go solo at the start.
