Legendary guitarist formerly of Deep Purple and Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore, and award-winning vocalist Candice Night created a new genre of music for all ages, inspired by melodies of the Renaissance period, and Blackmoreized into contemporary music.  They call it Renaissance/Folk/Rock. 

In 1997, Blackmore’s Night released their debut CD, Shadow of the Moon, which immediately went gold in Japan and earned multiple music awards worldwide.  Meanwhile, their devoted fan base has grown exponentially as the band performs their mystical music for all ages.  From grandparents to children, everyone is enjoying their medieval mood music and gypsy dances.  

 Award winning lyricist and vocalist, Candice Night, contributes her unique, entrancing vocals, but deftly navigates seven medieval woodwinds, including chanters, shawms, pennywhistles and recorders.  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and celebrated guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore, traverses between acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin, mandola and hurdy gurdy.  Accompanied by their minstrel band, the collective embraces the aura of the old-world ballads to good old-fashioned Renaissance-inspired pub songs.

Additionally, every one of Blackmore’s Night studio CD s has debuted in the top of Billboards charts.  They have earned Awards such as “Best Album of the Year”, “Best Vocal Album of the Year” and their sold-out concerts in castles and UNESCO sites worldwide are filled with thousands of fans dressed in Renaissance garb, dancing and singing as if time stood still.  Let the music transport you back in time and enjoy an unforgettable evening with Blackmore's Night.
