Turpin and Jean first met a little over a decade ago while attending university in Bath. The pair bonded immediately over their love for the sounds of bygone eras, and they quickly earned rave reviews everywhere from the BBC to the NME with their raucous first group, Kill It Kid. Starting over fresh as a duo, they relocated to Nashville in 2019 and released the Ethan Johns’ produced debut Chasing Lights to similarly widespread critical acclaim. Rolling Stone hailed the album’s “stomping swirl of blues and guitar-heavy Folk,” while The Independent lauded its “retro lustre” and “impressive experimentation,” and NPR’s Heavy Rotation called it “tightly drawn, harmonic and hypnotic.”

Whilst the next years spent on the road were certainly formative for the electrifying British duo, it was what happened in between—the countless hours spent driving through small towns and big cities, past sprawling suburbs and forgotten ghost towns, across rolling plains and snow-capped mountains—that truly laid the groundwork for the band’s transportive second album, Click Click Domino. A raw and direct offering, self-produced at home in Nashville during the first COVID lockdown bolstered by appearances from high profile guests like Marcus King, Greta Van Fleet’s Jake Kiszka, and Ethan Johns.

Their music helped to earn the duo a slew of support dates with the likes of Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Nick Mulvey, Greta Van Fleet, The Marcus King Band, Blackberry Smoke, Josh Ritter, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and The Lone Bellow, as well as notable performances on the main stage at Newport Folk Festival, at Bonnaroo, the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Cayamo, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Luck Reunion, Germany’s Reeperbahn Festival, Switzerland’s Zermatt Unplugged as well as slot on the highly acclaimed Outlaw Festival Tour with Lucinda Williams and The Avett Brothers.

Turpin and Jake Kiszka have since cemented a musical alliance in their formation of the band Mirador. Mirador launched in 2024 supporting Kiszka’s own Greta Van Fleet across arenas in the US.
