Music Minute: Skinnamarink with Sharon & Randi and Friends, All the Holiday Fun You Can Sing! 12/19 3p Eastern

 

What do Sharon and Randi and their family and friends do when the holidays arrive during lockdown? They make music together, of course! Fans of all ages are invited to wear their favourite holiday sweaters and join Sharon and Randi and some very special guests for a LIVE virtual show, Skinnamarink with Sharon & Randi and Friends, All the Holiday Fun You Can Sing! on Saturday, December 19, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time HERE. Just as legendary musicians Sharon, Lois & Bram brought happiness to four generations of children and their grown-ups, Sharon Hampson and her daughter Randi are continuing to share the music of Sharon, Lois and Bram with yet another generation of families. Through this up-close-and-personal sing-along gathering, and like their first two virtual concerts, Live in your Living Room and Back by Popular Demand, this is a real family affair featuring Sharon and Randi, Randi's sons Ethan and Elijah, their girlfriends Clare and Sofia, and Randi's beau Jim. Sharon and Randi are also expecting some special friends to sing their favourite holiday tunes, including singer/songwriter Josh Lovelace, who will be joining in from Knoxville, TN, Jacy Dawn Valeras, who will be singing one of Lois's favourite holiday songs from Boston, and Roy George, who will “Zoom” in from Virginia. At this Holiday Party, viewers will be able to see each other's festival holiday sweaters or favourite holiday dress-up outfits and sing along with each other and the performers. Conceived as a "by family, for family" experience, the show will include such holiday favourites as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Jingle Bells", "I'm a Little Latka", and "Candles Long Ago" and such well-loved Sharon, Lois & Bram favourites as "Comin' Round the Mountain" and, of course, "Skinnamarink." As an added bonus, Sharon and Randi will be sharing Lois's famous brownie recipe and Sharon's mother's recipe for potato pancakes. About Sharon: Since 1978, Sharon has been pre-eminent in all aspects of family entertainment across North America as a member of the trio Sharon, Lois & Bram.
