Liz Gillies and Ferry Townes Release Duet “What You’ve Done” Via Licorice Pizza Records


Ferry Townes, led by Julia Gargano, stands out in the indie music scene with a distinctive blend of acoustic and electronic sounds. The band’s name pays tribute to the Staten Island Ferry, reflecting Gargano’s experiences commuting to Manhattan during her formative years. Gargano first gained attention on American Idol Season 18, where she finished in the top 7. Her debut collection with Ferry Townes showcases an eclectic mix of influences, reminiscent of bands like HAIM and boygenius, yet with a unique alternative pop edge.

The music of Ferry Townes delves into themes of feminine identity and personal growth, exploring the complexities of modern relationships with emotional depth. Gargano’s lyrics capture the transition from adolescence to adulthood, blending anxious moments with playful, flirtatious elements. The result is a vivid and resonant musical experience that offers an authentic reflection of both personal and universal struggles.

“Julia and I met a few years ago through a mutual friend and we’ve been collaborating ever since. She’s such a tremendous talent and writing with her has felt organic from the start. We share so many of the same references and love so many of the same artists- it just made sense from the very beginning. I’m so excited for everyone to hear our first song.” – Liz Gillies

“We are both singing this song about our own situations. It’s my favorite part about it being sung in two part harmony. It feels like two friends venting with one another. And I adore how our voices sound together, that was such a bonus!”  – Ferry Townes
