Blackmore’s Night is a British‑American neo‑medieval folk rock band formed in 1997, built around the partnership of Candice Night (lead vocals, lyricist, woodwinds) and Ritchie Blackmore (acoustic and electric guitars, hurdy‑gurdy, mandola, mandolin, nyckelharpa). Although the group’s lineup has changed frequently, Night and Blackmore have remained its core members. The band has released eleven studio albums. Their early work leaned heavily on acoustic arrangements inspired by early music, while later releases incorporated more electric guitar and modern instrumentation, along with folk‑styled reinterpretations of pop and rock songs. Candice Night was originally a fan of Rainbow and first met Ritchie Blackmore in 1989 when she approached him for an autograph while working at a local New York radio station. The two began living together in 1991 and soon discovered a shared passion for Renaissance and early music, which eventually led to the creation of Blackmore’s Night.
