Bio
Genesee Depot
Established 2011
Voted "Best Country Band in Wisconsin 2019" by the online publication Found In Wisconsin, this young family band has dedicated the past 11 years to performing country covers from the hits of the 90s to now - with some originals mixed in as well.
Taking the stage early in life, Genesee Depot has been entertaining crowds for eleven years across the state. Bringing high energy and beautiful harmonies, the group captivates audiences with an original sound that can't help but reveal the family bonds the three lead vocalists share. Growing up together has only strengthened their collective love for singing, songwriting, and performing. Countless performances have shaped each of the band members into not only better musicians, but into the standout artists they are today.
Genesee Depot is always looking to reach and impact more people. One of the ways this was made possible by Channel 12 WJFW who featured a live performance of their original songs "Kiss Me" and "Easily" off their 2018 Nashville-recorded debut project, Distraction EP. Following the achievements of their EP sales, as well as streaming locally and across 16 countries, Genesee Depot returned to Nashville to create their next success. Eleven, released May 2022, is a culmination of the story they have written so far, and a step forward into the stories yet to be told.
Genesee Depot is a band that is constantly growing, reshaping, and honing their skills together as a family. Every show is a different experience, with new connections and new memories - and a new chance to find your next favorite song.
“Thanks for being on this journey with us!”

My favorite part of the band is meeting new people and spending every weekend with my two sisters. I have been working for a tree company in the Arborist industry for the past 9 years. Come out and have some drinks with us.
Brigitta Gresl
Lead Guitar / Vocals
I started playing the guitar when I was 6 years old, and began performing on stage in the family band at the age of 12. We have now played over 500 shows. By day, I do Data Entry for my sister and brother-in-law's trucking company. On the weekends, I am traveling all over Wisconsin living my dream, playing guitar and singing. I love the energy you all bring to our shows!
Gina Gresl
Vocals/ Acoustic Guitar
As Manager, Promoter, Booking Agent, Singer -Song Writer, and Entrepeneur, I keep very busy. Outside the band, I have my own cleaning company and my new side-business making custom frames. I wear a lot of hats both literally and figuratively and try to experience everything life has to offer. Being the middle child of a family of 9, I would say I am pretty close with all of my siblings. One of my favorite things has been this journey Genesee Depot has taken me on. The best part is being able to take the stage and perform with my brother and sister and the community of friends we have made along the way. If it wasn't for music I wouldn't have met so many of the amazing people in my life. Individuals that are making a difference in their community by hosting fundraisers, and benefits, local owners serving their community and providing fellowship, parishes or even families inviting us to play weddings, anniversaries, or graduations have all helped make us who we are today. To be a part of something bigger than yourself is a great feeling. Our music is about you! Thanks for supporting our passion for music. Love you all!

I played my first show with Genesee Depot in the fall of 2017 and have been playing my ass off with them ever since. By day, I work at Truck Shop USA and I am a father of three sons and a daughter. A lot of credit goes to my incredibly supportive wife, Sara.
