This story begins in Barnstable, Massachusetts when two sets of brothers and longtime friends combined to form the Barn Boys; A Blues, Rock, Funk, and Reggae band led by multi-talented lead guitarist and singer Graham Hempstead. The Barn Boys created a unique and groovy rock and roll sound that was authentic and distinct to the area. Not long after the creation of “The Barn Boys,” Nikki came in. Nikki met the boys through a mutual friend and came to jam with them one day. They were blown away by her voice and energy, and after that, Nikki attended every jam session, forming “Nikki & the Barn Boys.”
