Bon Ton Roulet
Band,
Rock and Blues
Jeffrey Ingersoll formed the band Bon Ton Roulette in 1980 with vocalist Sharon Garland, keyboard player and ex-Iron City Houserockers Gil Snyder, guitarist Don Hollowood, drummer Ken Crisafalo, and sax players Chris Patarini and Mark McCollum. They played regularly at the Decade Club in Oakland near Pittsburgh, PA. They were joined at the Decade by Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, who both jammed with them on separate occasions in the mid-1980s. The band had their 15 minutes of national fame in 1985 when the video of their song "Love and War" was aired on MTV's Basement Tapes program that was hosted by Frank Zappa. Singer Pat Scanga joined the band and recorded on their 1987 album "Big Game Hunter". Ingersoll played with Bon Ton Roulett until 1989. Chris Paterini, Pat Scanga and Bad JuJu drummer Kurt Steinle joined Gary Belloma and The Blue Bombers after the break up of Bon Ton Roulet.
