Mirador Members, Gear & Sound

Mirador is a rock 'n' roll collective that blends the mythical with the modern, hailing from a creative partnership between Jake Kiszka, co-founder of Greta Van Fleet, and Chris Turpin of Ida Mae. Both acclaimed guitarists and vocalists, Kiszka and Turpin bring their unique talents together to craft a sound that draws inspiration from ancient myths, traditional folklore, and the raw energy of Delta blues. This collaboration has birthed a boundary-pushing rock experience that defies convention, characterized by soaring vocal harmonies and dynamic guitar interplay.

Mirador's sonic palette is both expansive and raw, driven by fret-burning guitar work and an evocative vocal call-and-response. Their music thrives on a blend of dirty, blues-infused riffs and sprawling, atmospheric layers. Jake Kiszka’s use of the Gibson SG Classic and Marshall DSL100H provides the gritty backbone to their sound, while the Fulltone OCD pedal injects a raw, overdriven edge. This combination of gear creates a rich tapestry of tones that ranges from thunderous rock to delicate, delta-inspired blues, making Mirador's sound both timeless and forward-thinking.
