Gerry Arias is a well traveled musician and live performer from Andover, NJ. After many years of drumming, touring, and recording for famous folks, local legends, and everything in between, Gerry embarked in earnest as a solo artist with his first two releases in 2021: A cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero," complete with Irish fiddle, and a world beat version of Tom Petty's "American Girl." By 2022, Gerry released an EP entitled "Diaspora" featuring two original songs, and an interpretation of Rodriguez' song entitled "Jane S. Paddy," of course. Gerry's latest single "Together" was released on April Fools Day, 2024. It is a song about hope in humanity's triumph over all that holds us backwards.

A World Beat Tribute to one of Gerry's Heroes, The Great Tom Petty.
"My first Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers cassette was "You're Gonna Get It! Favorite bit on that album was "I Need to Know." This vertical video features Maria German as the star and you can hear her sing on a chorus
Filmed in Ireland, April 2022. Featured on Sugarman.org where Rodriguez' daughter expressed appreciation for this amazing rendition featuring world renowned Irish musician Brian Fleming on Bodhran, master fiddliest Neil Fitz, and Quentin Cowper on acoustic guitar and sound production.
Filmed live at the Woodstock Farm Festival on August 7, 2024. Gerry noticed Ayana putting a harmonica away in her purse when he called her up to sing. The rest, as we say in music, was magic!
