TERESA ENNIS

Teresa Ennis represents a new generation of female singer-songwriter.

She blends her Irish-Newfoundland-Celtic back ground with more contemporary

folk and roots elements coming up with a refreshing blend of acoustic music

with an easy appeal. She combines tried and tested

traditional material with new fresh originals to present a musical balance

that has one foot rooted in the past while the other steps forward.



Teresa Ennis grew up in St. John’s, Newfoundland, in a home filled with

music, singing and playing songs with her family and friends. This early

life experience, lead Teresa to a professional career in music as a member

of The Ennis Sisters, a Juno, ECMA, MNL Award winning folk/roots group that

played stages across the world. After a decade of touring and releasing 6

CDs with her sisters, Teresa decided it was time to release her first solo

CD, Space, in fall 2007.



Space, recorded in her spare time with her good friend, producer Joel Hunt,

earned Teresa a 2008 Nova Scotia Music Award nomination for Best Female

Artist with a Roots Showcase at the conference. In 2009, Teresa was

nominated for Best Roots Solo Recording at the ECMA’s and was invited to

showcase at the conference. During the event, she performed on CBC Radio and Television and

was featured as a live performer on the live awards gala show with her band.



Now, Teresa’s sophomore CD, Stars, which draws heavily on her early

influences, is set to be released early in the fall of 2009. Stars, is a

natural progression from her debut release and serves as a bridge to her

next project as well; which is already in progress. Stars includes several

new original songs composed and/or co-written by Ennis as well as beautiful

new interpretations of traditional material. Guest musicians include: Boyd

MacNeil (fiddle, bodhran) of the Barra MacNeils, Jeff Bird (bass, harmonica,

mandolin) of the Cowboy Junkies, Darren McMullen (mandolin, banjo), Shannon

Quinn (fiddle, accordion), Glen Coolen (whistles, lowland pipes), Rheo

Rochon (bass) and producer Joel Hunt on a variety of instruments.



More information will be made available closer to the release date.
