CLEVELAND, Ohio - The young members of Michigan rock band Greta Van Fleet aren't rock stars yet. But that's quickly changing.



The band hit Cleveland last week, selling out the Grog Shop, something even some veteran acts struggle to do. Their first single, "Highway Tune," is one of the hottest rock songs in the country.



Greta Van Fleet's Josh and Jake Kiszka sat down for an interview with Cleveland.com and internet radio station oWOW Cleveland before the Grog Shop gig. You can see highlights of the interview - conducted by oWOW DJ's Ravenna Miceli and Steve Pappas - in the video above.

Here's what we learned about a rock band that could be the next big thing.

Jake and Josh Kiszka who are twin brothers (Josh is five minutes older, in case you're wondering) who began playing music in high school. Josh is the lead singer. Jake plays lead guitar. The band also features younger brother Sam Kiszka on bass and drummer Danny Wagner.

The band members are from Frankenmuth, known as Michigan's Little Bavaria. The tourist town known for its festivals, craft beer, arts events and shopping. It is also home to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland, a 96,000-square-foot retail outlet known as the world's largest Christmas store. The Kiszkas describe their hometown as "artsy" with a population of around 5,000 people.

The name Greta Van Fleet comes from the band's original drummer Kyle Hauck, who showed up to practice one day and said he had to go chop wood afterwards for a Frankenmuth town elder named "Gretna" Van Fleet. The band eventually parted ways with Hauck, but "Gretna," which was converted to Greta, stuck.

The band's single "Highway Tune" is the first song Jake and Josh ever wrote when they were 16. "Highway Tune" surged up the charts, peaking at No.2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.

Greta Van Fleet has drawn a lot of comparisons to Led Zeppelin and other blues-influenced rock acts, and Josh's high-flying rock 'n' roll voice has been compared to that of Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. But the Kiszka Brothers are actually self-taught musicians, never taking formal music lessons growing up.

Speaking of the blues, Jake and Josh list a variety of legendary bluesman as their chief influences, including Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Lead Belly and John Lee Hooker.

The success of "Highway Tune" has paid off. This is Greta Van Fleet's first tour and the Grog Shop show is just one of several sold-out shows.
