Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night and their talented band of Minstrels (Earl Grey of Chimay, Gypsy Rose, Bard David of Larchmont, Squire Malcolm of Lumley and Die Geyer Albert) present a fascinating combination of soft rock music and European folk melodies often fusing instruments of the Renaissance era with those of the modern day. Ritchie has coined the term for this newly created category of music "Renaissance Rock".

Much of their inspiration is their love for nature - and the pageantry and romance of the beautiful music of the Renaissance time. Blackmore's Night and their seven piece band weaves the mystical music of another time into their own sound with acoustic and electric guitars, strings, eclectic instruments like hurdy-gurdy and bagpipe entwined with Candice Night's ethereal voice.
