ENNIS is a dynamic, JUNO award winning original group with a unique contemporary voice, ?avored by

deep roots and Celtic traditional Newfoundland in?uences. 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.
