Jonas Brothers return to Las Vegas

AS A KID, I had relatively normal priorities. Go to school, do chores and, of course, collect every last CD Jonas Brothers released. Not just one copy, though. I needed two. One disc to use for its intended purpose and the other to cherish in its original cellophane wrapping, displayed on my bookcase.

After all, maybe one day I’d be face-to-face with Kevin, Joe and Nick and I’d need something they could autograph. Or maybe they’d be valuable relics when my favorite trio became legendary artists. (Cementing that legendary status, the boys were immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Jan. 30.) Or maybe I would grow to become an adult who owns not a single one of those CDs, nor a CD player.

Either way, it’s safe to say, all these years later, I’m stoked that the Jo Bros have made a habit of dropping into Vegas. And whether they were your childhood crushes or are your latest musical obsession, their shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM should excite you, too.

The artists who brought you “Sucker” and “Only Human” are known to play songs from their entire discography, including bangers from solo projects like Nick’s “Jealous” and Joe’s band DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean.” And for longtime fans, the brothers conjure nostalgia with songs like “S.O.S.,” “Lovebug” and “Year 3000” (a personal favorite for this fan.)

With a highly anticipated album set to be released May 5, who knows what melodious magic they’ll be treating audiences to?

If you can’t quite make these shows, worry not; the trio stays busy. They’re known to drop into parents’ restaurant, Nellie’s Southern Kitchen, at MGM Grand, to give impromptu performances when they’re in town.

You can also catch Joe playing real-life naval officer Marty Goode in Devotion, a biographical war film released in November. With some screen time of his own, Kevin hosts ABC’s competition show Claim To Fame with brother Frankie; it was recently renewed following a successful first season. Lastly, Nick recently announced he is to be a featured speaker at next month’s South by Southwest festival.
