On May 13, the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF), in coordination with earMUSIC, hosted a night celebrating Candice Night and the release of her new album, Sea Glass. This celebration featured a live solo performance of Candice Night, performing three songs from her new album followed by the official induction of Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night of Blackmore’s Night into LIMEHOF at its museum, located at 97 Main Street in Stony Brook, NY. Candice Night accepted the induction on behalf of Blackmore’s Night as Ritchie was not be able to attend.
Candice Night: “I am so honored to be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame,” Night said. “Being surrounded by some of the greatest musicians, knowing we all have the same roots here is an incredible feeling. I’ve lived on Long Island my whole life and am constantly inspired by the energy here and the beauty of our nature. The imagery is a constant focus in my songs.”

The two inductees met on Long Island and have strong Long Island community ties. Legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple and Rainbow) grew up in the UK and moved to the USA in 1974, moving to Huntington, Long Island in the 1980s.
Candice Night grew up in Hauppauge and is a lifetime Long Island resident and a graduate of NYIT in Old Westbury. While interning at WBAB in 1989, she met Ritchie Blackmore at a charity soccer game where Deep Purple played against the station’s DJ’s and Staff. After the game, Candice asked Ritchie for his autograph and the two became friends, later developing into more. They started living together in 1993 and co-founded Blackmore’s Night in 1997. They have been very involved in many local charity efforts and community events across Long Island where they continue to live on the North Shore while raising their family.
“In recorded and live performances, Long Island’s Blackmore’s Night has been thrilling and entertaining audiences all around the world for nearly three decades,” said LIMEHOF Co-Founder Norm Prusslin. “Blending renaissance melodies, instrumentals, and folk-rock original songs into a style uniquely their own, Blackmore’s Night is beloved by their fans for their exceptional musicianship, extraordinary vocals, and legendary performances. Blackmore’s Night’s induction into the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame recognizes and honors their artistry, creativity and legacy.”
A limited number of tickets will be available to LIMEHOF members and the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will cost $50.00. To purchase tickets, visit limusichalloffame.org.
Candice Night’s new solo album, Sea Glass, is out now via earMUSIC as a limited-edition LP, CD Digipak, and Digital. Order/save the album here.
Produced by Candice Night, it features a musical alchemy of her influences, experiences, and sensibility inspired by a lifetime of challenging musical adventures as well as the magic and demands of everyday life and family. It is an album that travels through rock, country, and deft acoustic pop terrains and matters of love, loss, inspiration, and hope to unearth sonic jewels, much like the power of the natural forces that craft sea glass itself.
“…these slivers of hope were actually just pieces of broken glass, sea glass, that had been tossed away, shattered, smoothed by the rapture of the waves, and returned back to the land, as gems, to be found with great joy by someone like me. No longer lost upon the sand… ‘Sea Glass’ is for you to treasure…” – Candice Night
