Gabriel Mireles arrives at Radio Bean armed with songs and guitar lines that clearly prove him a powerful musical force.

About Gabriel Mireles
Gabriel Mireles is a balladeer, whose lyrics personify his gift as a storyteller. His ballads and love songs place him among the best of today's American songwriters. Mireles draws from the emotions that run deep in each of us, revealing what we have all felt in matters close to the heart. He achieves this without being glib or saccharin but with a certain, very human sweetness, sensitivity and an honesty to which anyone can relate.

Although currently based in Boston, much of his material is a reflection of his experiences, relationships and social activism in New England as well as in his native Ohio. Gabriel has grown up in an atmosphere of artists, writers, and musicians. Gatherings with family and friends seemed always to begin with, or eventually morph into musical jam sessions that would last late into the night. His parents nurtured his interest in music exposing him to everything from folk and blues to jazz, classical and pop as well as Latin music played by his Mexican-born father.

Mireles began to play the guitar at the age of twelve and almost immediately started to perform, with his inaugural performance at a fundraiser for the Homeless Awareness Project in Toledo, Ohio. During high school he played solo gigs and led a popular garage band, organizing a fundraiser with area musicians in support of the victims of Hurricane Mitch in Honduras. In 2001, Mireles won the Advance Music Guitar Summit in Burlington, Vermont, playing his instrumental composition, "Herring in a White Wine Sauce". Educated at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Gabriel Mireles performs at venues throughout the Boston-metro area. For more information visit www.sonicbid.com/gabrielmireles.
