Charming Country/Folk duo Ennis to perform at Horizon Stage

The sweet harmonies of Maureen and Karen Ennis will enchant Spruce Grove on January 22nd.

Maureen and Karen Ennis both started playing music at an early age. In 1997 they formed the popular trio, The Ennis Sisters, with their younger sister, Theresa, and went on to record seven albums, winning four East Coast Music Awards and one Juno. The Ennis Sisters toured with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Jann Arden, and shared the stage with numerous top artists at various music festivals. Their 2001 single, It's Not About You, cracked the top 5 on Canadian Country Radio, and the top 10 on Canadian adult contemporary radio. When Theresa left the group in 2007, Maureen and Karen decided to continue as a duo, and Ennis was born.

Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland, the two remaining Ennis sisters are excited about their new beginning. They worked in Nashville with producer Randy Scruggs to release their debut album, “Be Here for Awhile”, in 2008. The album features remarkable performances from some of the finest studio musicians in Nashville. Give Me Love, the debut single and video from “Be Here for Awhile” received air play on numerous country radio stations. Give Me Love, is a beautiful, catchy song that many of their audience members are sure to be singing to themselves long after they leave the theatre.

Now touring Canada, Ennis is pleased to be making two stops in the Edmonton area. The first at Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove on Thursday, January 22nd, and the second at the Maclab Centre for Performing Arts in Leduc on January 23rd.
