Unless you were one of the lucky fans who witnessed Iron Maiden play at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, there’s little chance you’ll be seeing them again anytime soon. Thankfully, there are a small handful of awesome Iron Maiden tribute acts around with The Iron Maidens topping that elite list.

Today, The Iron Maidens consist of Nikki Stringfield aka Davina Murray (guitars, backing vocals), Linda McDonald aka Nikki McBURRain (drums, backing vocals), Kirsten Rosenberg aka Bruce Chickinson (lead vocals), Wanda Ortiz aka Steph Harris (bass, backing vocals) and Courtney Cox aka Adriana Smith (guitars, backing vocals).

For the better part of 22 years, these metal maidens have paid tribute to Iron Maiden while producing a live show that includes Iron Maiden mascot Eddie, the devil, and the grim reaper. Rather than sticking to any specific era, these uber-talented women play a heady mix of early Maiden in addition to the band’s hits, fan favorites, and even lesser-known cuts.

Since forming, they’ve amassed numerous regional awards including best tribute band, best in category (guitar, bass, drums, and voice) at events such as The Rock City News Awards, The LA Music Awards, and The All Access Magazine Award Show. Visit www.theironmaidens.com for more info and to check out where they’re playing next.

Also, on this heavily stacked, all-ages bill are Black, Veronica Lucia, and Hellheart. Doors open at 7pm and the show kicks off promptly at 7:30pm. Tickets can be purchased at www.goldfieldtradingpost.com for $20 advance or take your chances at the door for a slightly increased cost. Goldfield Trading Post is located at 238 Vernon Street in Roseville. All ages are welcome. Up the irons!
