About Blackmore's Night

Legendary Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist Ritchie Blackmore shifted his musical focus away from hard rock in the late 1990s and started concentrating on his love of Renaissance-era music. He formed Blackmore's Night with his fiancee, vocalist/lyricist Candice Night and recruited other musicians from around the world to combine elements of world music, Renaissance, new age, folk, and rock & roll. His acoustic guitar melodies and Night's clear, ethereal voice blended with a host of instruments such as mandolins, keyboards, pennywhistles, violins, tambourines, military drums, and hurdy-gurdys. Blackmore once described the band's sound as "Mike Oldfield meets Enya." ~ Bret Adams
