Jerry Loos

Jerry Loos has been a central figure in Columbus music as a guitarist, songwriter, producer, engineer, and mentor. His playing and studio work have crossed blues, rock, and roots music, giving him a rare ability to support an artist’s individual voice while bringing clarity, power, and imagination to the finished performance.

Across decades of work, Loos performed and recorded with a wide range of Central Ohio artists and became a trusted resource for musicians developing original material. His influence can be heard not only in his own performances but in the records he helped shape and the players he encouraged. By combining high-level musicianship with patient collaboration and a deep respect for the blues, Loos helped raise the standard of the local scene and extend its reach well beyond the city.
