Special Edition of Talk of the Town: Backstage with the Jonas Brothers


You may not know who they are but I bet your kids do!
It’s the Jonas Brothers, we're talking about and they were in concert tonight at the Civic Center. The Jonas Brothers are a group of three teenage brothers from New Jersey who play pop-punk and are the darlings of Disney radio. In tonight's Talk of the Town we take you back stage to meet the group along with the winners of our be a reporter for a day contest.

The Martin family was just one of many thrilled to see the Jonas Brothers in concert. After seeing a Jonas Brothers commercial a few months ago little Cole Martin said he was sold. "They are great, they do commercials and they're teenagers." But little did he know, he'd soon get to meet Kevin, Joe and Nick in person.

Autographs, pictures and a few questions answered and it was time for me and the Martins to take our seats for the show. One of the opening acts was an up and coming singer from Glenville Georgia, Katelyn Tarver. She got the crowd on their feet and full of energy.But when the Jonas brothers took the stage and launched into kids of the future hordes of screaming teen and tweens ran to the front of the theater even giving security a little run for their money.

There were no quiet lulls between the songs, as shrieks and cries carried one song into another. These boys clearly know they are adored and used that to work the young crowd, driving girls into a frenzy with a wave here and a wink there. For the parents at tonight’s show the Jonas Brothers was clearly reminiscent of the Beatles craze.

The next stop for the Jonas brothers is Atlanta and their new album will be available on August 7th. Just go to JonasBrothers.com.
