Biography MIRADOR



MIRADOR
In April 2024, the Grammy-winning hard rock band Greta van Fleet announced on their social media channels that their guitarist Jake Kiszka had formed a new band called Mirador with Chris Turpin of Ida Mae. With this announcement, Greta van Fleet confirmed their guitarist's new project as support on their Starcatcher World Tour. Since this brilliant launch, Mirador has not officially released a single song to date. Nevertheless, numerous live versions of some songs, filmed by fans at concerts, can be found on YouTube, demonstrating the raw energy of the band's sound. Tracks like "Feels Like Gold," "Roving Blade," "Blood and Custard," and "Must I Go Bound," with their sound spanning blues rock, folky rock 'n' roll, hard rock, and exuberant guitar solos, have become true fan favorites. Their studio versions are eagerly awaited worldwide on the band's already recorded debut album. After a completely sold-out US tour in spring 2025, Mirador will tour again this fall, including in Europe, where they will perform live at the Lido in Berlin and the Luxor in Cologne.

Jake Kiszka and Chris Turpin met in 2018 when Ida Mae opened for Greta van Fleet at three shows at Detroit's Fox Theatre and subsequently supported them on their upcoming North American tour. The two guitarists quickly became friends and shared their love of blues and classic songwriting during jam sessions. It quickly became clear to both of them that the interplay between Kiszka and Turpin was an extremely fruitful one. In 2023, the two friends decided to "write a few songs for fun" in Nashville and a week later had compiled a whopping ten tracks. Inspired by ancient myths, traditional folklore, and blues, a rock 'n' roll sound emerged that pushed the boundaries of the genre. With drummer Mikey Sorbello and London-based bassist and keyboardist Nick Pini, both guitarists finally found members who completed Mirador. After the band's official formation, the four musicians spent two weeks in the studio recording their debut album, "Mirador," with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton). The album paved an unprecedented path filled with uncompromising fire, unbridled fearlessness, and unsurpassed attitude, laying the foundation for a rock 'n' roll sound that transcended established boundaries.
