Who are The Ennis Sisters?

Originating from the picturesque province of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, the talented trio consists of Maureen, Karen, and Teresa Ennis. Known for their unique sound, they incorporate a mix of Indigenous instruments like the flute, tin whistle, and the traditional Celtic bodhrán drum, alongside classic instruments such as guitar and tambourine. What truly sets them apart is their stunning harmonization that feels both intimate and familial, capturing the essence of sisterhood with every note.

Cultural Roots and Musical Heritage

The Ennis Sisters are proud champions of their Atlantic Canadian roots, drawing inspiration from the rich traditions and Celtic heritage of their homeland. Their music serves not only as entertainment but also as a heartfelt tribute to the resilience and warmth that define Newfoundland culture. And if that’s not enough, expect a delightful showcase of Irish step-dancing to complement their beautiful melodies!

Their Musical Journey

Since making their debut with the album "Red is the Rose" in 1997—a project that won accolades including Best Folk Album from the Music Industry Association of Newfoundland and Labrador—they have released an impressive 14 albums and have received numerous awards, including esteemed recognition at the 2002 JUNO Awards.

What to Expect at the Concert

This holiday concert will feature a delightful blend of their original folk tunes and beloved Christmas classics, including favorites like “I’ll Be There Christmas Eve,” “Christmas Belles,” and “Winter Wonderland.” A particularly special treat is their unique rendition of “I’ll Be There Christmas Eve,” which boasts a backstory that intertwines their family history and commitment to preserve the music for all ages. In a loving gesture, their father once reached out to original songwriter Ron Hynes, who graciously rewrote the lyrics so his daughters could sing it, making it a cherished staple in their holiday performances.
