Hello, I’m Gene Triesch (pronounced Treesh), born and
raised
in Blanco, Texas. My wife, LaVada (pronounced LaVAYda)
Gregg Triesch
was born in Edna, Texas but grew up primarily in San
Antonio.
It was about 1982, that I guess you could say ‘country
boy’ met ‘city girl...’ and, most likely, it was our love of
music that brought us together. We were both in country
music—I, with a very busy band I founded in 1977 called The
Middle of the Fiddle (popular around the Austin/San Antonio
scene) and LaVada with her unique and beautiful country vocal.
By 1984, we knew "what our forever was for" and were
married.
I was inspired to write gospel songs after
completing a year-long personal bible study in September 2001.
By this time in our lives we had dedicated ourselves, our marriage and our business to the Lord. We were active in our local
church, singing gospel music. So, we began singing the songs
that I felt like God had given to me. Before long we decided
we had enough original songs for a CD and since we were
friends with 2002 Grammy Award winning musician, Bobby Flores,
first-fiddle for Ray Price for several years and one of the
best producers in the country music business, we gave him a
call. And, in 2004, together with God’s help, and some of the best
country pickers in the country, our first CD project, "In
God’s Time" was born!
I think
you’ll discover this CD has some diverse musical sounds
including straight country, country-blues, bluegrass,
rock-a-billy and even a ‘country-flavored’ Israeli folk style
on the title song. All are original songs on this project
except for "Amazing Grace" and the medley of "Power in the Blood" and "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus."
We completed our second CD project in 2005, called "Set Free" with
renowned producer, Kevin McManus, of Oak Valley Studio in
Nashville, TN, along with some of Nashville’s finest pickers. It was released in March 2005. "Set Free," the title song,
was written by LaVada, as well as another cut, called "A Part
of Me." The rest of the project includes seven of my songs and
Squire Parson's "Sweet Beulah Land."
We're excited about releasing our third project, "At the Speed of Love", in 2006. This project was produced by Robb Tripp at his Family Room Studio in Gallatin, TN. We were able to get Aubrey Hainey and Sonny Garrish back on this project. And all the other pickers are the absolute finest in Nashville, too! All the songs on this album are our own! LaVada wrote Track #3, "Take Him at His Word" and I wrote all the others.
We were endorsed by Christian Music Presenters of Nashville, TN, in 2005. We're members of the
South Texas Gospel Music Association, which voted us Vocal Duo of the Year in 2005 and Songwriters of the Year in 2006. We're also members of the Christian Country Music Association. Showcasing our music for the last three years at the Inspirational Country Music Week sponsored by the CCMA in Nashville, TN, has been
exciting for us. We have had several of our song releases on the CCMA
PowerSource Magazine’s Top 100 Chart, as well as other Country Gospel Charts!
Our latest release to radio, in January 2007, is "A Voice in Time" from our first album. Eight-year-old, Callie Culton, of Blanco, TX, is featured on this recording. The issue of abortion is very important and this song conveys the heart wrenching emotions from the perspective of a father and the unborn child. Abortion not only hurts women, it hurts the men involved and whole families. For every woman who aborts a child, there is a father who is equally responsible for that child being conceived.
What does God think and say about the unborn? Genesis 1:27 says, ‘We are made in His image.’ Jer. 1:4-5 says, ‘I knew you before you were conceived.’ And Psalm 139:13 says, ‘I knit you together in your mother’s womb.’ Scripture tells us in Proverbs 6:17 that God hates the shedding of innocent blood. In that light, abortion can have dire implications for our communities and our country beyond what we might imagine.”
We seem to be at a place now where we can give to others something of what we ourselves have been given. We know our musical talents are gifts from God and we now like to use those
talents to sing about the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ! If we can help someone else find a relationship with the Lord through listening to our music---we have achieved our goal! Awards and recognition from a 'worldly' standpoint are nice, but not what it is all about for us. We are on a mission that our Lord Jesus has called us to.
We pray you will
blessed by this annointed country music that delivers a
straight from the Bible message!
You will find us singing our ‘Texas style’ country gospel music at
church services, festivals, concerts and other events. Please let us know if we can serve you!

"This
CD is an uplifting collection of timeless truths taken straight
from the Bible and carried right to the heart! "
--Amber
Patterson, HMG Nashville
"Gene and LaVada Triesch are two of the most sincere singers I have ever worked with. They sing every song on their new CD (In God's Time) with both passion and heartfelt emotion. During the recording process they were certainly two of the most enjoyable and professional people I have ever worked with. For all their blessings they give credit where credit is due, to their Heavenly Father."
--Bill Green BGM Studios
"This is an album that will move people. Gene and LaVada have done a wonderful job of spreading God's message through their music and I am so grateful to be a part of it!"
--Bobby Flores, Producer
