Comments from Radio!

2008-04-01T09:01:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, Maureen and Karen are out on the road visiting rural radio, it is a natural fit for both parties! Those who listen to these stations are down home, salt of the earth people, and you know you don't get more down home than Newfoundland!

Here are a couple of comments from radio staff:

They were great!!! Wonderful harmonies. I also found it interesting to hear about their part of Canada.

I have been near there, but had no idea it is an 18 drive and ferry ride for them to just get off the island of Newfoundland.
Great girls..I hope they go far..they have the talent, for sure!!!

Jack,
Thank you so much for getting the Ennis sisters to stop by here. They were unbelievable!!! The proof is in the pudding!! Very good music, very cool to talk to, and the music speaks for itself!!! A BIG ADD!!!

Maureen Now endorses Larrivee

2008-01-23T16:42:00.000-08:00

After a long and loyal stint with Garrison Guitars, Maureen has joined the ranks of such notables as Brad Paisley and Brent Mason and has signed on to the Larrivee Guitar team.

Garrison being purchased by Fender and losing the close relationship with the Garrison founders had a great deal to do with the move. Maureen reports however that she is very happy with the beautiful looking and wonderful sounding Larrivee instruments and had longed wished to play one but did not out of loyalty to Garrison.

And the personal service that she was accustomed to with Garrison is back thanks to Mr. Ricky Thompson Sales Director and Artist Relations manager.

Watch for the Larrivee LV-10E Rosewood Deluxe Series in the new Ennis video Give Me Love shooting this Friday in Nashville.

For more information about Larrivee Guitars please visit their website at www.larrivee.com/

Ennis is one of the most promising acts we`ve ever heard on Fame Games.
Wholesome, but not cheesy, traditional but surprisingly fresh - this is the kind of music that will appeal to people from all walks of life
- complete with timeless qualities and a definite crossover potential!
Well done!

Music Matters and Terry Reeves

2008-01-09T21:24:00.001-08:00

Or should we say, Ennis music really matters to Terry?

It matters alot, welcome Ms. Terry Reeves and the Music Matters team as the new U.S. booking agent for Ennis.

She is a real fireball and is growing in her love for the girls every moment that passes.

I invite you to make her feel welcome!

Our friend Terry Reeves set it up. Wait..who is Terry Reeves?

A new distribution deal is in the works!

2008-01-02T19:12:00.000-08:00

The Ennis team will soon announce a new nationwide distributor for Canada. Three of the Ennis releases will be available, Red Is The Rose, Be Here for Awhile and a yet to be decided catalog CD. All is subject to approval by Maureen and Karen, so stay tuned for the final announcement.

A US distributor of the record is also in the works.

The new video will be ready in January!

2008-01-02T18:13:00.000-08:00

Maureen, Karen and Mark will be heading back to Nashville around January 10th, soon after they will be in pre-production for the video of Give Me Love, so we hope to have it done by the end of the month.

By the way, the song is getting adds in both Canada and the US! Whoo ha!

Teresa Ennis

2008-01-02T17:00:00.000-08:00

It has been hanging out there for a while now, so lets just put it to rest.

Teresa is no longer a part of the group, and the Ennis Sisters are no more, at least in the legal form as a band or corporate entity.

They however are still family and will always be sisters, nothing or anyone will ever change that fact. They love one another, always will, and they all support the decisions each have made. Teresa has her new musical direction and Maureen and Karen have theirs.

We wish multiplatinum success for all!

The Ennis Fans Hall of Fame

2008-01-02T14:24:00.000-08:00

The ladies know how hard many of you are working to get the music out there, and they have an idea what some of you have done to accomplish that task.

Let us know why you should be in the Ennis Fans Hall of Fame, tell everyone here, or just send an email decribing what you have done or are doing now to get the word out.

We also want to take this time to invite those interested to join the Ennis Street Team, who can join? Well if you live anywhere near a street, you are in!

Please to not forget to check in on Ben Robinson the girls label mate, he is the next big thing in the guitar world!

Thanks to radio everywhere!

2008-01-02T14:21:00.000-08:00

Maureen and Karen along with the 633 team send their thanks out to radio around the world. We know the play lists are tight yet most of you are making room for this music that means so much to so many! Thanks again.

Can You Duet?

2008-01-02T13:50:00.000-08:00

Karen and Maureen were asked, like many others to come down and audition for the show. The ladies decided that although it would be a lot of fun, they already have their favorite duet partner, each other!

The new record is doing very well in Canada and it is now being added in the US, so that really would disqualify them anyway.

In my humble opinion, we already have the best duo in the world, why would we want anyone to mess around with that?!

Welcome to the Ennis Blog!

2008-01-02T12:33:00.000-08:00

We want to hear from you, thoughts, suggestions, where you would like us to play or anything else that might be on your mind. Our fans are sweet, so we do not need to have a lot of rules.

Best
