Gerry Arias is a versatile singer-songwriter and live performer based in Andover, New Jersey. With a rich background in drumming, touring, and recording for various artists, he transitioned into a solo career in 2021. His musical style blends elements of Americana, folk rock, soul, blues, reggae, and Western classics, often incorporating both English and Spanish ballads into his performances.
Arias began his solo work with two notable releases in 2021:
A cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero," featuring Irish fiddle and a world beat version of Tom Petty's "American Girl." In 2022, he released the EP Diaspora, recorded in Costa Rica and Ireland with world-class musicians, showcasing his global musical influences. By 2024, he unveiled the single "Together" on April Fools' Day, a song about hope in humanity's triumph over adversity. Later that year, he released DELUXE, a 14-song reissue of his 2017 album The Mixed Signals, which includes collaborations with Brother Earth on tracks like "blue," "the new USA," and "shallow." In 2025, he released a previously vaulted track titled "ticket to LA," a fusion of stoner and yacht rock with dystopian themes. More vaulted releases are expected this year.
Arias is known for his engaging live performances, often performing as a solo artist or with a trio. He has been booked for numerous private events and public shows, including regular appearances at venues like McQ's Pub at Lake Lenape in Newton, NJ .
