The Ennis Sisters: Christmas Fancy

MusicChristmas

Dec. 17

With Christmas Fancy The Ennis Sisters have really crafted a song worthy of attention… for two reasons.

First, it’s a great acapella track with all the vocal styling we’ve come to expect from The Ennis Sisters.

Second, it’s a happy reminder that Simani have contributed more to the Newfoundland Christmas canon than The Mummer's Song.

This cover of Simani’s Christmas Fancy is from The Ennis Sisters' Upon a Winter's Day album. You can check out the original Simani recording here.

You can listen to The Ennis Sisters version above but you also need to check out the album. They have a cover of Dolly Parton's With Bells On which is pretty impressive. Check it out 'cause I think it's been scientifically proven that you can't have too much Dolly.

Check out Christmas Fancy above or hear it, and a bunch of other cool Christmas songs from Newfoundland artists on the 2020 Newfoundland Christmas Playlist.
