TOWER BARRACKS, Germany \u2014 The Reel Time Theater at Tower Barracks buzzed with anticipation as Soldiers and their Families gathered for a special concert by country artist Niko Moon on March 20.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers and the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.<\/p>\n

Moon performed his latest album, \u201cThese Are the Nights,\u201d bringing a slice of home to the military community stationed abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for the protection and all the hard work that our service members put in,\u201d Moon said. \u201cBeing able to come over here and bring a little bit of home to the service members is something that is really important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was five-year-old Freyja Lockington\u2019s first concert.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked the drums and the electric guitar and the singing,\u201d said Freya.<\/p>\n

During the performance Lockington handed Moon a handmade sign that read, \u201cI like you, Niko Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event allowed Families to enjoy quality time together while engaging with the music.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor such a small venue, it was a huge amount of energy, so it was great for the band,\u201d said Elissa Lockington, Freyja\u2019s mother. \u201cI loved that we could get up and the kids could play and dance in the front.\u201d<\/p>\n

In closing, Moon expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to perform for the military community, highlighting the unifying power of music.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic has this beautiful, mysterious way of bringing us all together,\u201d he said. \u201cThank you so much for having me. Such an honor to be here and hopefully I get to see y\u2019all soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concert concluded with a meet-and-greet session, offering attendees the chance to talk to Moon, to take photos together and get autographs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a very exciting person,\u201d said David Roach, chief of business and recreation at DFMWR. \u201cHe brings smiles to everybody\u2019s faces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roach also highlighted the importance of such events for the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are talking about the community, we want to make sure that we are putting on these events so we are getting people out of the barracks, out of their housing units, onto the base so that they can share events like this with the community, meet each other, and just have a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roach also highlighted upcoming events, inviting the community to participate in future gatherings designed to strengthen bonds and provide entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have several events throughout the year, and we always invite the community to come out,\u201d said Roach. \u201cWe do have the Kinderfest in April and several trips you can take. On the Fourth of July, we have a band out there, and we have our Volksfest coming out in August. We just love seeing the community come out here and have a great time together with their Families.\u201d<\/p>\n
