Eyes of The Nile - Iron Maiden Tribute

Eyes of the Nile formed in late summer of 2015, when Chris answered a Craigslist ad placed by Navid for a Maiden tribute. A few emails and a voice memo recording of the chorus of “Flight of Icarus” later, the two realized they knew each other and had crossed paths in the Northern Virginia music scene, had a mutual respect for each other’s work, and decided to recruit other musicians to play the classic Maiden catalog. Chris is a conservatory trained professional percussionist with the Navy band in Washington DC, who has also played countless shows with prominent DC area cover band Dr. FU. Navid is currently the vocalist/guitarist and main songwriter in Iris Divine, a progressive metal band signed to Sensory Records. Several auditions later, the strings came together with Daniel Tidwell (vocalist/ guitarist/ songwriter of Terracide) and Jason Hurley on guitar, and finally, Fern on bass.
