So proud of my nephews Thomas and John and my niece Isabelle who is the Band manager. Knowing my beautiful sister Allison and her love of music growing up, she was the master of mixed tapes and motivational, fun loving music, and her influence on the boys is noted by John who credits his parents with helping I still a love of music in them at a young age. Kudos to beautiful, smart, talented amazingly strong and capable Nikki who has found her voice! And also a shout out to Liam and Graham Grmpstead and their whole family, just wonderful people and neighbors. Next interview I’d love to hear about the influence of our good friend and neighbor, Gerry Shuck on the developing band. I love that the band’s development starts with kids being kids, following their dreams, talents and passions and working hard. A through line of family, friendship , community, support, collaboration and believing anything is possible is the through line in this honest interview with the band. I love that Nikki came to know the band at one of our community concerts in Barnstable Village. I love that they are also embraced by their generation and blossomed in spite of COVID. More power to them. Keep on keeping on NBB. You never know what small seed you help plant with kindness will grow into a majestic and beautiful tree! Nikki and The Barn Boys
