The Jonas Brothers Back on the Road for American Club Tour

The Jonas Brothers Back on the Road for American Club Tour

Eagerly-Awaited Debut Album, 'It's About Time,' in Stores Tuesday, April 11

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jonas Brothers, the emerging teenage powerpop garage rock band hailing from New Jersey, will hit the road in late January for a series of American club dates beginning January 28 in Sacramento, California and wrapping up March 3 in Orlando, Florida (see itinerary following).

The Jonas Brothers winter tour gives fans a chance to catch the boys in intimate club settings before the group's eagerly-awaited debut album, It's About Time, hits the stores on Tuesday, April 11.

The album's first single, "Mandy," a Jonas Brothers-original composition filled with hope and inspiration, has been made into a three-part video, directed by acclaimed music documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner (who won a Sundance Award for "Dig!"). Part I of the Jonas Brothers three-part "Mandy" film is expected to premiere on MTV's "TRL" during the week of February 20 (check your local listings).

The Jonas Brothers are slated for an April 8 appearance on the CBS "Saturday Early Show."

The Jonas Brothers are Kevin, Nicholas and Joseph, three teenage siblings who've developed their own signature sound pouring soaring vocal harmonies, unforgettable melodic hooks, and boundless energy into fresh original songs, most of them written by the Jonas Brothers, with collaborators including Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), Michael Mangini (Joss Stone), Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi), Billy Mann (Jessica Simpson, Destiny's Child) and Steve Greenberg (Joss Stone, Hanson). The Grammy-winning duo of Greenberg and Mangini, fresh off their success with Joss Stone's two acclaimed albums, produced It's About Time, drawing on the Jonas Brothers' unpretentious garage rock sound and affinity for hooky 70's British punk records.

Inspiration for the group's songs comes directly from the boys' personal experiences -- from the highs and lows of dating to being on the road to having been given the opportunity to follow their dreams at such a young age. "A lot of it is about typical teenage love stuff like 'Oh, what am I going to do if I can't see her today?' It's not stuff that we don't know about," says Nicholas.

The Jonas Brothers toured extensively last summer with Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys and The Click Five.
