ricboals1


Ric Boals has been a musical presence in Columbus and surrounding areas for many, many years.  His guitar skills, as well as his vocals, show him to be an outstanding performer and entertainer.   He continues his role as jam master at “The Dolphin” in Gahanna every Monday night grinding out 12 Barr Blues to die hard fans.

Pat McLoughlin – Top Oil and Lube Man – Front Man and Lead Vocals

Pat McLoughlin is equally lively and entertaining as the The Gas Pump Jockeys front man, a role he has had since the band’s inception twenty years ago. He too, is everywhere on stage and off. His banter with the audience is so entertaining that it’s often worth seeing the band just to see what will happen between the crowd and his wackiness. Also an excellent harmony singer, you might be surprised at how well he blends with the other vocalists in the group. Pat McLoughlin is the group’s epicenter and a dynamic performer, as well as the stage leader of The Gas Pump Jockeys.




Scott Langley – Chief Coke Bottle Washer and Coffee Maker – Drummer & Vocals

Talented drummer Scott Langley keeps The Gas Pump Jockeys on track throughout the show. A veteran of many successful bands, he keeps the pace of the show moving and pounds out the beat for all of those great songs. Though perched behind his drums, he also joins in on vocals. Heard on almost every song as a harmony voice, his range will leave you amazed. Pretty good for a guy who “is just the drummer”, but Scott Langley is so much more than that with The Gas Pump Jockeys.




Kerry Patesel – Tune Up Specialist – Six Cylinder Engines and Six String Guitars – Keyboards, Second Lead Guitar, & Vocals

Versatile Kerry Patesel provides a unique blend of talents and sounds, creating some rocking moments on both his keyboards and his lead guitar. Energetic on stage, he relishes in seeing a dance floor overflowing with happy listeners. He too, can sing and really lets it go when you least expect it. Seeing his expressions on stage can be worth the price of admission alone. Soon you will recognize that Kerry Patesel brings a great deal of talent and energy to The Gas Pump Jockeys show.



Larry Reese – Chief Mechanic – Bass Guitar & Lead Vocals

The very popular Larry Reese is THE best individual vocalist ever to sing in The Gas Pump Jockeys’s
twenty years of performing. Blessed with natural charisma, Larry will leave you spell bound as one of Ohio’s premier singers. He holds the group’s musical “bottom” in place by delivering solidly on his big
blue bass guitar. When he blends with Pat, Kerry and Scott, the harmonies will convince you as well, that he is one of the best singers you will EVER hear. Larry Reese is a “must see” part of The Gas Pump Jockeys.



Rob Hard – Check your tires, Look under the hood, Clean the windshield – Sound Man Extraordinaire


The stage members of
The Gas Pump Jockeys will quickly and unanimously admit that the most important member of the organization is the sound man, and in this band that person is Rob Hard. A veteran of numerous bands throughout his career, Rob Hard spins the correct dials and pushes the right buttons that balances the sound of the band, controls the volume and insures that those listening to The Gas Pump Jockeys has an enjoyable experience.

Without

Rob Hard, The Gas Pump Jockeys would sound like every other self-service filling station musical group that hurts your ears and makes your eyes water. But thankfully he is with The Gas Pump Jockeys and his talents place them above all of the others.
