MIRADOR conjure sky-shaking and boundary-bursting rock ‘n’ roll by invoking spirits of Ancient myth, traditional folklore, and Delta-born blues in one concentrated musical incantation. In the band, 21st century guitar hero, innovator, songwriter, and GRAMMY® Award-winning Greta Van Fleet co-founder Jake Kiszka not only shares vocal and guitar duties with critically acclaimed co-vocalist and guitarist Chris Turpin of Ida Mae, but he also shines as a producer and songwriter, stepping out on his own. Working and songwriting in tandem with Jake and curating this vision side-by-side, Chris has emerged as a perfect creative partner, adding yet another dimension to MIRADOR. Fiercely resolute in an unapologetic commitment to bucking any and all rules, the group stretches the limits of rock ‘n’ roll blasted out of the stratosphere by a thunderous vocal call-and-response, fret-burning six-string sorcery, and evocative lyrics. Jake and Chris met in 2018 when Ida Mae opened up for Greta Van Fleet during a sold-out three-night stand at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, MI. Ida Mae later canvased North America with Greta. On the road, Jake and Chris cemented their friendship with late-night jam sessions fueled by wine and a shared passion for blues and classic songwriters. In Nashville, these friends decided to “write a couple of songs for fun” during 2023. A week later, they had ten tunes. They rounded out the lineup with the addition of Mikey Sorbello on drums and Nicki Pini on bass & keys, virtuosic instrumentalists and underdogs of central London’s underground Jazz and Rock n’ Roll scene. Initially, the world got to know MIRADOR when they spent a month opening up Greta Van Fleet’s Starcatcher World Tour in arenas throughout 2024. Galvanized by this nightly trial-by-fire, the band rolled right into a Savannah, GA studio with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dave Cobb [Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton], and cut their self-titled full-length debut, MIRADOR, live in barely two weeks. Jake and Co. pave an unprecedented path rife with uncompromising fire, unbridled fearlessness, and unmatched attitude, laying the groundwork for a rock ‘n’ roll movement beyond the established scope of the genre.
