I'm no expert, but I'v seen how hairy music licensing can get and how
much it costs so you may want to try two things:
1. Contact the performer (Find some creative way, either through the
fan club or whatever) and SELL them on your "independent" film.
Convince them to do a mitzvah and let you have the song for next to
nothing. Of course this will be difficult.
2. Find a talented musician friend and play the track for him/her. Tell
him/her you want something with the same feel. Use an original
musical work.
