Blackmore's Night and Wizard's Consort

Legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple & Rainbow) and ethereal vocalist Candice Night formed Blackmore's Night in 1997. Fusing folk rock with Renaissance-style melodies, they reinterpret historical songs with modern flair. Popular albums include "Shadow of the Moon" and "Under a Violet Moon." They collaborated with Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson and have a dedicated Renaissance Faire fanbase. Their award-winning Christmas album, "Winter Carols," adds to their acclaim.
