Earia, an Arabic word meaning ‘to be naked’, defines both the power and the process of the musical genius that is Earia Music Project. Their approach to songwriting is the result of countless hours of focusing on the rebirth of musical roots - keeping themselves open, unrestricted, and free of limitations. Naked. 

Earia Music Project’s foundation is an acoustic, folk, roots, and Americana duo featuring Matthew Landry (guitar/vocals) and Sal Mattar (percussion) often performing with James Miller (keys). A live performance may also include bass, saxophone, cello or even violin.  Matthews’ voice and style demand your attention whilst Mattar adds a world music vibe - a unique touch and a welcome change from typical snare-kick-tom drum kit sound.

Landry is a gifted singer-songwriter known for his powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. With a captivating stage presence and soulful voice, he effortlessly draws listeners into an immersive musical journey.
 
Mattar, the master of percussion brings an exquisite range of world rhythms to Earia's sound. With instruments such as the cajon, darbouka, congas, djembe and bongos, he infuses the music with an infectious energy and groove that transcends genres. 
 
Adding rich and soulful melodies,  Miller is a talented keyboardist who weaves intricate harmonies and textures into Earia's music.

With thoughtful lyrics and skillful musicianship, they have already made a mark in the local music scene as they share their original songs about life, love, connection, and world events. Their energetic and mesmerizing live performances, their undeniable chemistry, and their genuine love for music are palpable on stage, captivating audiences and leaving long-lasting impressions. It’s no surprise that soon after forming in 2022, they won North Vancouver’s Shipyards Got Talent and have since begun working on their debut album scheduled for release in 2024.
