"For twenty years, the Jonas Brothers have been burnin' up the charts in a way that's almost impossible to fathom. Even Esquire's Dave Holmes struggled to realize it in his in-depth profile of the band. They are well past the point of being written off as a flash-in-the-pan act for Disney tweens. Today, the Jonas Brothers are a rock band with a legacy. But if you ask them, they're trying to emulate a different act altogether: Coldplay."
""I saw them play in Greece and I wrote everybody like, You got to go to the show," Joe Jonas told Esquire. "Chris [Martin] said something that was really powerful. He said, 'Look at this, most of the people in here wouldn't even agree on what they want for dinner, much less politics. But we're all singing, crying, and laughing together.' How cool is that, just to bring joy to people?"
The Jonas Brothers have sustained a two-decade career, rising beyond their Disney tween origins to become a legacy rock band. Coldplay serves as a key artistic influence after a concert in Greece where Chris Martin noted how diverse audiences unite in song, tears, and laughter. The Jonas Brothers aspire to bring similar joy and communal experience to their own shows. The band released their seventh album, Greetings From Your Hometown, this year and plans a Christmas movie for Disney+. Their current sound emphasizes feel-good arena rock designed to connect audiences emotionally.
