Music Minute: New Singles from Sharon & Bram

Legendary children's musicians Sharon & Bram have launched a grand celebration of their 40-year performing career with the release of a series of new singles, all written by Sharon Hampson's late husband Joe Hampson, who achieved fame as a member of the Canadian folk group The Travellers.  

The new singles are the first recordings Sharon & Bram have made without the late Lois Lilienstein, who was, for 20 years, their partner in the trio Sharon, Lois & Bram.

Before there was Dora, Nickelodeon introduced Sharon, Lois & Bram and their Elephant Show to American TV viewers, and, later on, even more families became fans by watching them on Skinnamarink TV on TLC. Decade after decade of enthusiastic live audiences and treasured recordings attest to the depth of love and joy generated by the simple power of the group's music.

About Sharon & Bram:
Since 1978, Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison have been pre-eminent in all aspects of family entertainment across North America as members of the trio Sharon, Lois & Bram. Together, the threesome produced over twenty recordings, 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. To date, they have sold millions of albums worldwide, and over 18 million people have viewed The Elephant Show's "Skinnamarink" on YouTube. For their years of work providing the best in participatory music for children and their families, Sharon & Bram, along with Lois, have been inducted into The Order of Canada, their country's highest honor.

Having recently performed their last live concert together, Sharon & Bram now look ahead to other creative ventures.  They plan to release more singles, and their first picture book, Skinnamarink, based on their beloved signature song, with illustrations by Qin Len, was officially released on September 3, 2019 through Tundra Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.



Sharon & Bram's recently released singles, "The Drum Song," "Different," "The Colour Song," "Talk About Peace," and "The Hug Song," are now available for purchase.
