Joe Hampson was best known as a member of the Canadian singing group
The Travellers; he started out as a
folksinger in a number of small vocal groups in the United States
before meeting his soon-to-be third wife Sharon Trostin and
subsequently moving to her native Canada where he became a member of
The Travellers. Later, when Sharon became
a member of the singing group Sharon, Lois & Bram, Joe came along,
playing the string bass and writing songs for the trio (including the
popular "We Have A Band."). He was a skilled carpenter and handyman and
had a home renovation business as well as constructing movie props.
However, he continued singing and making music almost to the day of his
death.
