Blackmore's Night

Blackmore's Night is a British/American traditional folk rock band formed in 1997, consisting of Ritchie Blackmore (acoustic guitar, hurdy gurdy, mandola, mandolin, nyckelharpe and electric guitar), Candice Night (lead vocals, lyricist and woodwinds), The Scarlett Fiddler on violin, The Troubadour of Aberdeen on drums, Bard David of Larchmont on keyboards, Earl Grey of Chimay on bass and Lady Lynn on backing vocals. To date they have released ten studio albums; their latest, All Our Yesterdays, was released on September 18, 2015.

Their debut album Shadow of the Moon was a musical success. The group performs at Renaissance fairs and Renaissance festivals, as well as in stand-alone concert tours in appropriate venues including 'castle tours' of Europe, where they perform in historic surroundings for an audience dressed largely in period costume. The duo has been successful enough to inspire a number of international tribute bands including: Renaissance Night, the Italian Morning Star and the Midnight.
