Proud parents Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley were more than happy to take a back seat on Saturday to watch their daughter Alexa Ray showcase her own musical talents at a benefit event in New York.

After guests at the sold-out fundraiser had enjoyed wine and cheeses, the talented 22-year-old daughter of the Piano Man took to the stage to provide the entertainment.

During the event she sang a selection of tracks from behind her keyboard.

Alexa always encouraged from an early age by her famous father, who classically trained her on the piano.

Alexa is a complete in her own right, so she delighted the crowd as well as her parents with her soulful blues sound.

This event had been organized to raise money for the Save Sag Harbor fund, a cause that helps preserve local shops in the area that Alexa, Billy and Christie have all called home.
