Music Minute: Sharon, Randi & Bram Virtual Concert 8/27 7pm ET

What do Sharon, Randi & Bram do when they get together with each other and their families? They sing, of course! Fans of all ages are invited to join them for a very special LIVE virtual show, SKINNAMARINK with Sharon and Randi, with special guest ... Bram! on Thursday, August 27 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time HERE.

Legendary musicians Sharon & Bram brought happiness to four generations of children and their grown-ups. Sharon Hampson and her daughter Randi Hampson have coaxed Bram Morrison out of retirement for this up-close-and-personal sing-along gathering. They're planning a real family affair with performances and reminiscing from Randi's sons Ethan and Elijah and their girlfriends Clare and Sofia, Bram's brother Jeff, Randi's boyfriend Jim, longtime musical family member Grant Slater on keys and his wife Kim on flute, and, of course, Sharon and Randi ... and Bram!

At this first-ever event, viewers will be able to see, interact with, and sing along with each other and the performers. Conceived as a "by family, for family" experience, the show will include songs for all ages, including such well-loved Sharon, Lois & Bram favourites as "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain," "Five Little Monkeys," One Elephant," "Tingalayo," and, of course, "Skinnamarink" as well as exciting new songs released this past year like "Talk About Peace."

"We love and miss singing with our audiences. The sound of families singing together and the expressions of delight on the faces of the parents as they share the music brings us deep satisfaction" says Sharon Hampson. "We are thrilled to have this chance to once again see those smiling faces singing along with favourite tunes, old and new."

"We are so excited to have the chance to connect virtually for this family concert," adds Randi Hampson. "We're especially excited that Bram is coming out retirement to sing with us!"

Those who purchase tickets and attend this show will be entered in a contest for a chance to win a special Sharon, Lois & Bram prize package or a personal Zoom meeting with Sharon and Randi.

About Sharon & Bram:

Together, the threesome produced 21 full-length albums, beginning with their iconic, triple platinum One Elephant, Deux Éléphants. They have appeared in every major concert hall in Canada and many of the most prominent venues in the United States including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, and the White House. They have received countless awards, including Gold and Platinum Records and JUNO awards for Best Children’s Album, and have sold millions of albums worldwide. For their years of work providing the best in participatory music for children and their families, Sharon & Bram, along with Lois, were inducted into The Order of Canada, their country's highest honor.

Their picture book, Sharon, Lois & Bram's Skinnamarink, with additional lyrics written by Randi Hampson, was published by Penguin Random House in 2019 and has become a critically acclaimed best-seller with more than 50,000 copies sold.

About Sharon and Randi:
Following Bram’s retirement, and with his encouragement, Sharon and her daughter Randi continue to share the music of Sharon, Lois & Bram with fans and friends, old and new.

While Randi's first memories involve singing with Sharon, more recently, Lois, unable to perform with Sharon at a holiday concert, enlisted Randi to perform onstage alongside her mother in Lois' place. Randi’s song lyrics and voice can be heard on several tracks of the 2019 album she produced, Sharon & Bram and Friends. Fans had the chance to see her performing live countless times throughout Sharon & Bram’s Farewell Tour. Sharon and Randi are excited to be singing the songs of Sharon, Lois & Bram (many introduced to the trio by Randi) with a new generation of musical friends.
