Ennis Sisters is an Irish style folk group made up of three real sisters, Maureen, Karen, and Teresa Ennis -- listed in order of birth. All three are gifted singers, as well as musicians. Maureen, the oldest, is a guitarist and songwriter. The middle-born Karen plays both the tin whistle and flute, and does step dancing. The youngest of the family trio, Teresa, also step dances, as well as playing the bodhran. By the time the sisters were in their early twenties, their group had already recorded a few albums, completed a television Christmas special, signed with a major label, and won several awards.
Maureen, Karen, and Teresa were born in Newfoundland and raised on traditional Irish type songs. They began performing for family and friends, and then landing local gigs in pubs. Festivals and touring followed, fans increasing with each energetic performance. In 1997 Ennis Sisters recorded their first album, Red Is the Rose.
