NEWS RELEASE
BARRIE FOLK SOCIETY
*************************
The multi-award-winning Ennis Sisters are bringing their Newfoundland and Celtic traditional music to the Georgian Theatre in Barrie on Oct. 12 as part of their On We Go tour.
For over 25 years, they’ve been connecting with audiences across the world. Whether performing from their home province of Newfoundland or for international leaders and delegates at the 75th anniversary of D-Day on Juno Beach, their harmonies resonate with everyone.
A Juno Award, multiple East Coast Music Awards, Music Newfoundland and Labrador Awards and a SOCAN for the top-grossing Canadian country song — along with endless accolades from fans and critics alike — is tangible proof that they’ve tapped into something universal, beyond the notes on the page.
Flavoured by Celtic and traditional Newfoundland influences, Maureen, Karen and Teresa are known for their captivating sibling harmonies and their powerful, often humorous, storytelling. Their music offers a broad mix of original songs as well as uniquely interpreted tunes and ballads.
Live performance has been a staple of the Ennis experience, and continues to be. Proven road warriors since 1997, they gained underground notoriety before translating it into the global success they’ve become — and they aren’t finished yet.
The Ennis Sisters have also established a successful Christmas tour, which will see them perform in some of Canada’s most beautiful theatres later this fall.
The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. and takes place at the Georgian Theatre (1 Georgian Dr., Barrie). Tickets are $42.50 (includes tax) and can be purchased by visiting the Ennis Sisters home page at www.theennissisters.com and clicking on ‘buy tickets’ for the Barrie show listed in the tour.
