Ferry Townes - Be Here [Video]

Every beginning is difficult, but in the case of Ferry Townes also exciting because what this singer/songwriter has been working on over the past three years can finally be heard by the world. “Be Here” is Ferry Townes’ first single, with more to follow. What immediately drew me to Ferry Townes (Julia Gargano) was the super cool moniker and the song’s meaningful story. Here is an artist who does not want to hide her roots in Staten Island, the often neglected sibling of Manhattan & Co., but makes it part of her storytelling. Of course, the song itself appealed to me, too, with its positive hum-along tune. Julia’s bright and warm vocals, as well as smart lyricism like “Can we just be here, without worrying about what’s not here?” did the rest.

Asked about “Be Here,” Julia says:

“I can literally see my growth as a person when I look at these songs. They were written over the span of the past 3 years, which were a rollercoaster. Mid twenties are such a weird age. Ferry Townes was born out of a need to say things we should but don’t. Our songs are like those intense, never-sent letters, filled with raw overshares that one might only say with brave thumbs, but not their mouths.”
