Blackmore’s Night
BLACKMORE’S NIGHT is probably one of the best-known folk rock artists all over the world. And now, they are back on tour with some really nice open air shows. The band around the ex-member of DEEP PURPLE Ritchie Blackmore wants to show us what they are capable of doing with their mostly medieval-like instruments and I’m sure, it’s going to be a really great show in this nice summer.

BLACKMORE’S NIGHT is an Anglo-American Renaissance-inspired folk rock band led by Ritchie Blackmore (electric guitar and acoustic guitar) and Candice Night (lyricist and lead vocals). The origins of the band lie in 1990 when Candice Night was working at a local New York rock music radio station. She first encountered Ritchie Blackmore, then with Deep Purple, at a soccer game in which he was playing. The two became romantically involved and discovered that they shared a passionate interest in the Renaissance.
Their debut album “Shadow of the Moon” was an instant success, particularly in Europe. In subsequent albums, particularly “Fires at Midnight”, there was an increased incorporation of rock guitar into the music, whilst maintaining a folk rock direction. Over time, Candice Night has increasingly participated instrumentally as well as singing the vocals, and is competent in a wide variety of Renaissance instruments.
