Blackmore's Night

A folk-rock band founded in 1997 by former Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (acoustic and electric guitars, mandola, lute, and other instruments) and Candice Night (vocals, woodwinds, percussion). Their last names are in the band's name. The musical foundation and main inspiration for the musicians is music of the Renaissance era. The band also often performs cover versions of songs by various twentieth-century artists, as well as songs written by Blackmore while in Rainbow.
