🎸 Gerry Arias at McQ’s Tavern – A Local Tradition Since 2021

Since my first show at McQ’s on November 13, 2021, this neighborhood spot has become a steady part of my musical journey — and one of the most consistent stops on the map. Whether it’s an intimate acoustic night or a loose, full-throttle set, McQ’s brings out the rawest, realest performances.

These shows are close to home in every sense: familiar faces, spontaneous moments, and a setlist that always leaves room for surprise. Come for the songs, stay for the spirit — it’s always a good night at McQ’s.

Gerry Arias is a genre-blending singer-songwriter and performer based in Andover, NJ. With roots as a drummer and years of touring experience, he crafts raw, emotionally charged originals that fuse Americana, folk rock, and Western noir into a cinematic, rhythm-driven sound. His live sets also feature powerful reinterpretations of classic country, roots, and folk songs—always delivered with grit, soul, and a deep respect for storytelling. Whether solo or with a full band, no two performances are ever the same.
