Blackmore’s Night were founded in 1997 by legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and award-winning lyricist and vocalist Candice Night to stage their mutual love for traditional Medieval and Folk-Rock music. They created a band that can be considered a prime example of truthfulness and creative integrity.

The band’s debut album “Shadow Of The Moon” (1997) was not only Blackmore’s deliberately radical cut from his previous life as a celebrated rockstar in the bands Deep Purple and Rainbow, but at the same time ground-breaking and symptomatic of his artistic ideals: mainly acoustic instrumental music, influenced by the songs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, but in its timelessness fits perfectly into the modern times.
