Gerald Allen "Jerry" Roush is an American musician, best known as the former vocalist for Sky Eats Airplane and Of Mice & Men, and the current vocalist of Glass Cloud. He has also volunteered as a substitute vocalist for American Me during their Japan tour.

After answering a national casting call to join the fledgling metalcore band, Sky Eats Airplane, Roush was announced as the permanent vocalist. He was in the band from 2006 to 2009, and was featured on their self-titled second studio album. After being in the band for almost three years, co-founder of Sky Eats Airplane, Lee Duck, announced that Roush would be leaving the band. Duck stated that the "creative differences..." between Roush and Sky Eats Airplane were "the best option for everyone."

When Austin Carlile, lead singer of Of Mice & Men, was forced to refrain from touring due to heart surgery, the band asked Roush to substitute for Carlile while they played on Alesana's The Emptiness Tour. Austin Carlile stayed with OM&M after, returning to his original place. Roush was featured on the band's cover of "Blame It", originally performed by Jamie Foxx and T-Pain, which was released on the Fearless Records compilation album Punk Goes Pop 3.

Roush's membership with the band lasted several months. until January 3, 2011, Alternative Press announced that Carlile would be returning to Of Mice & Men along with collaborator, Alan Ashby. This had Roush without a musical project for little more than a month, until it was announced on Roush's Twitter that he would be filling-in on vocals for the band American Me on their tour in Japan.
