Born in the Philadelphia, PA area, The Ancient Mariners have been blasting the music of Iron Maiden since 2018.  Even 2019 club closures couldn't prevent them from quickly becoming one of the few real Iron Maiden specialists in the United States.  "The Mariners" combine two virtuosic guitar players capable of screaming the Murray/Smith licks as if hearing the real deal, a bass and drum rhythm section that you'd swear recreates the complex McBrain/Harris combo to a tee, and the soaring vocals of Dickinson that is nearly impossible to find and recreate.  

The Ancient Mariners has the skill, savvy, and dedication to make you want to scream all your favorite classic heavy metal anthems as loud as possible!  IRON MAIDEN boasts 6 Albums that have gone PLATINUM in the United States and legions of fans who want to hear the music from that classic 1982-1988 era.  Although "The Mariners" enjoy playing music from other eras of Maiden's historic career, their act specializes in this Platinum era.  ​
