CANDICE NIGHT
Upon hearing her music, or seeing her on stage, Candice Night feels like she’s from another time and place. She is whimsical and mystical, magical and free. Yet she’s also a woman who is dedicated to the authentic beauty of music and uses it to heal and to transport the listener to that place, along with her. Night is an award-winning composer and singer who is currently spanning the globe to bring everyone who is bold and brazen enough to join her, into a universe of mysticism and modern-day fantasy; a world where legends transcend living and where people allow themselves to be catapulted to a place that doesn’t just exist in their dreams. Candace’s style, part Stevie Nicks, part fairy princess, has always been about being strong and mythological, while still holding onto her femininity. Blackmore’s Night’s latest offering, Secret Voyage spent four weeks atop Billboard’s New Age Chart and has soundly established Night as a powerful artist and vocalist in her own right. Please visit for additional information: http://www.candicenight.com/ or http://www.blackmoresnight.com/
“I really want to pour so much positivity into the world. Our music gives them all-the father who loves the musicality of it, the mother who loves the romance of it and the children, who love the adventure and whimsy of it, permission to live in the joy of life.”
-Candice Night
BLACKMORE’S NIGHT
When it came time to look for a career, Candice knew that she was destined to work in and around music. After working as on on-air personality for a local radio station, one day, as fate and timing would have it, the seminal rock band Deep Purple came to town for a charity event and legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and Night connected on both a musical and personal level. Soon, Candice went from sharing her gift among friends to singing background vocals before a crowd of 15,000. Feeling musically renewed, Ritchie left Deep Purple and gave birth to Rainbow, a band that he had founded prior and wanted to reform with a new sound that would feature Candice. After a #1 single with Rainbow, Ritchie formed a new group to spotlight the vocal and songwriting talents of Candice Night, currently known as Blackmore’s Night.

Crazy is Contagious
Biography:
http://www.CrazyIsContagious.com
The group that would become Crazy is Contagious began as a small musical project between old high school friends Liza and Crash. The combination of Liza’s classical vocal training with Crash’s garage band influence formed the basis for Crazy is Contagious’ original sound. The group officially formed in the summer of 2007 when Liza and Crash called drummer Nick to show him the recordings they had been working on and to see if he would be interested in starting a band. Several successful practices later, Crazy is Contagious was official.
After two years of songwriting and rehearsal, Aaron joined the band as bassist. Within a few months Aaron was able to switch to his preferred instrument, the guitar, when new band member Zach arrived to fill in on bass. With several of their members still in college, Crazy is Contagious has played mainly on a local level but thanks to modern technology is quickly developing both a national and international fan base. Having recently released several demo CDs with the help of Grammy award-winning producer Niko Marzouca, Crazy is Contagious has once again returned to the studio to continue to develop their distinctive sound and plans to do a national tour to promote their first full-length album in 2010 are already in the works.

THE PEACH TREE
After 5 years, 9 LPs, and 4 EPs of completely free
music, Angus Maiden aka. The Peach Tree has released
his 10th self-titled concept album through his new net
label Tribal Dancing Kid. Over the years, Angus has
forged a distinctive path of genre-blurring,
tag-defying art complete with a cute out-of-tune voice
that either captivates or repels audiences.
