Ennis is formerly The Ennis Sisters.
Ennis is Maureen Ennis (lead vocals-songwriting-acoustic guitars)
Karen Ennis (backing vocals-acoustic guitar-mandolin-tin whistles)
ENNIS is a dynamic, JUNO award winning original group with a unique contemporary voice, flavored by
deep roots and Celtic traditional Newfoundland influences. Maureen and Karen are powerful, interesting
and humorous story tellers with a broad mix of Maureen’s accessible original songs and uniquely
interpreted tunes and ballads. With 7 albums (1 Gold) and inclusion on countless compilations CD’s (2
gold) to date, they have shared the stage and recorded with the Chieftains, toured with The Nitty Gritty
Dirt Band, Jann Arden and Colin Linden among too many others to mention. Touring highlights include
Playing for Canadian Troops in the middle east, the Millenium Celebration in St John’s Newfoundland,
the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Stan Rogers Folk Festival, the Strawberry Music Festival (California),
Merlefest (North Carolina), The Cleveland and Pittsburgh Irish festivals. They have also played Canada
Day events on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada and Trafalgar Square in London, England.
Having spent much of last year in Nashville, TN, Maureen and Karen have returned to Newfoundland to
embrace a musical style and direction that they are truly excited about. While working in Nashville, it
became obvious that their love of Newfoundland and its unique culture was something they were too
proud of to leave unsung. They are currently working on a new Folk/Celtic CD based on the seven-
generation history of their family in Newfoundland. The new collection of songs will include a mix of
originals, as well as traditional Celtic songs and instrumentals passed down to them from their rich
musical heritage. The album is set for a November 2009 release.
