ESL HOUSE BAND

The ESL House Band has evolved over the years, and their latest lineup brought down the house at ESL’s Annual Celebration on January 21, 2024. With a crowd of over 1,000 employees and guests filling the Riverside Convention Center, the band delivered an electrifying performance that won't soon be forgotten.

This dynamic group is made up of talented employees from across the company, representing departments like Facilities, Finance, Retail, and Wealth Management. A fun twist? The band’s lead singer, Marisa Iacobelli, shares the stage with her father, Leo Iacobelli, who shreds on lead guitar.

Their mission goes beyond just playing great music. The ESL House Band is dedicated to entertaining at company events and eagerly supports fundraising efforts in the community whenever they get the chance!

Refer with Caution

Meet Refer with Caution—A ragtag ensemble of aspiring rock stars who, by day, navigate the world of finance. The band’s inception can be traced back to a spontaneous jam session at GRB’s annual company meeting. As someone began to play at tune on the piano and others joined in with vocals, Refer with Caution was born. The name, inspired by a mortgage term used for high-risk client files, seemed like the perfect fit for a band with an edge.

Officially formed in 2019, RWC made its debut performance at the very next GRB annual meeting/holiday party. Despite a pause in 2020 due to Covid, the band has grown its fan base to include not just GRB employees but also referral partners, clients, family, and friends. Their setlist features hard and alternative rock hits from the 1970s through the 2000s.
