Voyage LA — the celebrated Los Angeles city guide and online magazine dedicated to spotlighting the creative voices shaping the region’s cultural landscape — sat down with Rich Abronson, founder and guitarist of Maiden United, for an in-depth interview about the origins of the band, the vision behind the tribute, and what it takes to build one of the West Coast’s most in-demand Iron Maiden tribute acts from the ground up.
In the interview Rich traces the band’s beginnings back to early 2021, describing the deliberate process of assembling a lineup of like-minded musicians capable of delivering a world-class Iron Maiden concert experience — from finding guitarist Scott Ramsay and bassist Danny Knapp to bringing drummer Adrian Aguilar into the fold. The conversation offers a candid look at the passion, precision, and persistence that has defined Maiden United’s approach from day one.
