Maiden Cane was formed in the summer of 2013 by bass player Jim Kiefer and guitarist Joey Gilbert. Fusing pieces of 2 bands together, Kiefer and Gilbert’s goal was to create a band of professional, experienced musicians that would excel at recreating the sound, feel and excitement of the arena rock concerts of the 70’s and 80’s. This meant more than just covering classic rock. It meant meticulously covering some of the extremely complex music of the time with surgical precision, and putting on a larger than life stage show, where the band is as incredible to watch as they are to listen to.

With a hard rule of only playing at theaters, larger venues and opening for national touring bands, the newly formed band set out to change the musical landscape of Southwest Florida. Their performances were widely praised and word of mouth spread quickly. It was not long before the band attained a sizeable, loyal following, earning the reputation of being Southwest Florida’s Favorite Arena Rock Band.
