The 2015 Vale Summer concert series continues this evening with a vist from Ennis at the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre in Bell Park.

This powerful harmony trio will deliver a live performance that is as clean and fresh as the wind and waves that wash over their home shores of Newfoundland. While admission to the concert is free, monetary donations in support of the Sudbury Food Bank are greatly appreciated.

As the Ennis Sisters, the group released six CDs, toured the Middle East, Norway, the UK, every Canadian province and 90 per cent of the United States, accumulating their own gold record, plus two compilation gold records along the way.

In addition to sharing stages with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Chieftains, Mary Black and Jann Arden, they won a Juno and multiple ECMAs and Newfoundland Music Awards. The Ennis Sisters also enjoyed widespread CMT video play for their single “It’s Not About You.”

As Ennis, sisters Maureen and Karen Ennis (along with music collaborator and band member Mark Murphy) have released two albums, Lessons Learned, and The Fortunate Ones, with the latter winning the 2014 East Coast Music Award for Traditional Album Of The Year in 2014. In 2013, Ennis won Newfoundland Music Awards for Group Of The Year and Album Of The Year across all genres.

The concert will take place at the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre in Bell Park from 7 p.m. sharp to approximately 8:30 p.m. These are family-friendly, rain or shine events. Ennis will have CDs for sale and will be available to sign autographs following completion of the show
