Singer-songwriter Alexa Ray Joel returns for her fifth engagement, September 25-October 6. Reviewing a previous residency at the Café, The New York Times called Joel, daughter of music legend Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, “a singer following her own heart.” Joel, immortalized in her father’s hit song, “The Downeaster Alexa,” has said that by age 15, she was finishing complete songs and complementing those songs with piano accompaniment and poetry. Alexa recently performed with her father on a duet of his hit, “Baby Grand,” during his record-breaking 53rd consecutive monthly performance at Madison Square Garden. Alexa Ray was featured on the cover of Bella magazine earlier this summer and also made an appearance in the new documentary, Always at the Carlyle, where she exuded her characteristic warmth, humor and musicality. At this residency, Alexa Ray Joel will perform original material, Broadway numbers and – always – a tune from her dad and one from Ray Charles. “People don’t know this, but my middle name is after my dad’s favorite singer, Ray Charles, so I always pay homage.” For parties of seven or more people, please contact the Cafe Carlyle directly at +1 212 744 1600 Café Carlyle Frequently Asked Questions Originally opened in 1955, the Café Carlyle is a legendary cabaret venue with seating for up to 88 people, offering guests a quintessential New York experience unlike any other.
