Halligan is a singer-songwriter project by New York artist Caravaggio Loria, in conjunction with co-producer Ross Procaccio of 6611 studios. Their music has been described as a combination of vintage folk with rock, neo-soul and contemporary composition.

The name of the band comes from the Halligan Tool, which is commonly used by New York City firefighters to break down doors, and windows. All the songs are contemporary murder ballads, influenced by such diverse musicians as Craig Finn, Steve Albini, and Ben Chasny.

Their first EP, “The Whiskey On Your Lips” was released in November 2011.
