Farewell Announcement:
We have decided to leave Blackmore's Night and pursue another musical path. We will always be grateful for the time we had in Blackmore's Night and honored to have shared the stage with them. We are also thankful for the wonderful people we've met along the way. Thank you for all your support these past five years!
We are currently working on a new album and more that we will be making announcements about soon. So keep checking back for updates. Feel free to stop by and visit us any time. We can't wait to show you all the new exciting stuff we're working on!
Love and Music Always,
Maddy and Nancy
P.S. Also check out the new song we just posted "Fear" from our upcoming album.
You may know them under their stage name 'Sisters of the Moon' or as 'Lady Madeline and Nancy' or as the 'singing twins' from the world renowned group 'Blackmore's Night' named after world famous lead guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore, from Deep Purple and Singer/Songwriter, Candice Night.
Prior to their introduction into 'Blackmore's Night' the twins had already spent most of their lives singing and performing having started at the age of three! Around the age of 9, they began to harmonize and write their own songs! Their first exposure to the recording world began when they sang in a school talent show and were recommended to their long time producer and friend, Chuck Nice, at the age of 16. They ended their high school careers being voted the most likely to make the top 40 in their high school yearbook.
Their strong singing talent and song writing ability inspired them to begin a project of their own under the group name 'It’s Just Me'. The group was comprised of the twins themselves, Chuck and various studio musicians from North Carolina, New York City and Long Island. This collaboration led to the development of their debut CD "Movin' On" which includes 13 original songs and also features funk bass player Mark White, from the multi-platinum band the Spin Doctors. Their sound is a combination of various styles including R&B, Pop, Rock as well as elements of show tunes and classical music, having been exposed to this music as young girls. To promote the album, their music was showcased and sold under local artists at Sam Goody’s. They also performed select songs on college radio for the LIMusicthon.
The twins have been touring with Blackmore's Night for the past five years. This has allowed them to showcase their singing talents as ‘vocal instrumentalists’. Mr. Blackmore and Ms. Night are always encouraging them to sing higher and higher to help build the songs. They have even been featured with the lead singer, on one of Mr. Blackmore's biggest hits ‘Child In Time’ which crescendoes into higher and higher octaves. They have also opened for the band several times with the impressive opera duet, 'Dome Epais' from the opera ‘Lakme’. They are very grateful for the opportunities this group is affording them allowing them to work with top musicians and perform in front of thousands of people. To further support them as a duo, their original music is being sold at Blackmore’s Night Concerts and can also be purchased on their web site.
Madeline and Nancy are already working on new original material under the name "Sisters of the Moon" with the encouragement and support of their current bandmates. They want to continue sharing their life’s experiences through music with the world!
