Travis Barker Jams with 9-Year-Old Blind Drummer During Surprise Visit to Lemonade Stand

Travis Barker has made one 9-year-old’s day. 

The Blink-182 musician, 47, surprised blind drummer Grayson Roberts by showing up to his lemonade stand in Los Angeles on Friday and engaging in an impromptu jam session.

A video of the sweet moment was shared on entrepreneur and music manager Charlie Rocket’s Instagram account. “@travisbarker came to help @graysons_view drum up some business at his lemonade stand!!! Lol what a great soul Travis barker is. Thank you to @katietua @mikeytua @lukismac @sweetyhigh for helping make this happen !!!” the post was captioned.

In a separate Instagram post, Rocket explained how he came across Grayson’s lemonade stand outside his house, but he had “no customers.” The stand is raising money so Grayson can hopefully achieve his dream of seeing the world while he still has a “little vision” left in his one eye. 

After meeting Grayson, who also had a drum kit at his stand, Rocket decided to let him set up his lemonade stand at his L.A. social club the Dream Factory, which is where Barker showed up in the hope of generating some more business.

“What’s up,” a smiling Grayson, who was born blind, replied. 

“Nice to meet you,” added Barker.
