The Jonas Brothers: Joe(front right), Nick(back middle) and Kevin(front left)
CHARLOTTE -- Currently one of the most popular bands in the country, the Jonas Brothers are in the Charlotte area for this week’s concert, and their tweens and teens fan base is ready for the show.
"That was amazing,” said band fan Hayes Harvey after meeting the musicians. “It's been my dream to meet the Jonas Brothers, and just meeting them was amazing for me."
The group, made up of 15, 18 and 20-year old brothers, spent the day doing everything from pre-concert news conferences to a game of 90 degree kickball in designer jeans on Tuesday. For them, it’s tough to be just average guys.
News 14 Carolina’s Aaron Mesmer has more from one of the most popular bands in the country.
"It is kind of a surreal feeling,” said Nick Jonas. “By now we've learned just to laugh when they're running along the side of a bus, and we're like, ‘This is a big bus, and you're running on a highway.’"
But ask the three about coming to Charlotte for Tuesday’s concert, and you get what to some might be an unexpected answer.
"It's always like coming kind of home because you have so many members,” said Joe Jonas. “Because our meet and greet list today is like 200 family members."
Kevin Jonas scores a run during Tuesday's kickball game.
The area is practically a second home to them, as many of their family members live in Gaston County. Joe Jonas says coming to North Carolina helps them remember their roots. “When we’re here, we like to just kind of go all-American things like kickball,” added Joe Jonas.
To many, it’s the little things that separates the group from others, as something as simple as a game of kickball can transform the popular group into a typical band of brothers.
Tuesday’s stop is part of the group’s 41 city tour promoting their upcoming album. Wednesday night they will play in Raleigh.
