Hey everyone. I thought I would check in from my vacation, we were able to take a few days and relax before heading out on our world tour. Earlier in the month we put the finishing touches on our new CD! I am very proud of the work my brothers & I created. I can’t wait for you to hear it.
A couple weeks ago we did a show at the Atlantis in the Bahamas. We go back there for another performance in early May as well. My family just loves it there. In Addition to going back to the Bahamas, the beginning of May has some great things scheduled. May 1st, be sure to check out my appearance on the TV show “The Doctors”. It is a great segment about diabetes. Then on May 2nd our TV series JONAS debuts on the Disney Channel! It was a lot of fun filming that so we hope that you enjoy it. The rest of May I will be rehearsing for the upcoming world tour and then the first stop of the tour is in South America. We are going to some places that we have never seen before so we are really looking forward to it.
Bayer & I kicked off the NicksSimpleWins.com creativity contest this month and before I go I wanted to tell you that I am so impressed with the submissions we have received thus far. You all are truly a creative bunch of people and have so many different ways of expressing your talents. If you haven’t seen it, make sure you go to NicksSimpleWins.com to check out all the great submissions and vote for your favorite! We are picking a different winner each month. If you haven’t done so, be sure to enter and turn in your submission today. Keep up the good work.
My simple win this month? Managing my highs and lows so I only have to focus on making new music.
Make it a great day!

Hope you are all doing great. We have finished our new CD and TV show. We are now enjoying some much needed time off. It is amazing to stop and rest but we can't stop thinking about how much we want to sing and perform our new songs for you this year.
Next week will be the premiere of our new Disney Channel TV show, JONAS. We really hope you love it. We worked hard on it.
There will be a lot of new stuff coming your way in the next few weeks. There will be some real surprises. Keep checking back for updates on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, SayNow, etc.
Thanks
JB
Kevin, Joe and Nick
One lucky person will win four tickets to see the sold-out Jonas Brothers show July 9 at the Bradley Center, along with limousine service to and from the show courtesy of Andrus Limos. Entering this contest is a snap; all you have to do is sign up for one of this summer's 50 Milwaukee Wave Summer Soccer Camps before July 3.
Every person who signs up for one of the weeklong Overnight Academy sessions automatically receives three entries into the drawing, held live on The Morning Blend on Today's TMJ 4 on July 6. Any person who signs up for a full-day Wave camp receives two entries, and every half-day or mini-kicker registration receives one entry.
"We are very excited bout working with Radio Disney and offering this great opportunity for our campers," said Keith Tozer, head coach and vice president of soccer operations of the Wave. "Jonas Brothers are one of the biggest groups around and their fans are our campers are one in the same."
The Jonas Brothers are possibly the hottest musical group in the country, if not the world. The three teenage brothers from New Jersey sold out three shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. They rung in the New Year performing live in New York's Times Square on Dick Clark's New Year's Rocking Eve, collected their RIAA-platinum plaques on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," sang from a White House balcony as guests of the President at the annual Easter Egg Roll, and even played on the hit shows "Dancing With the Stars" and the season finale of "American Idol." Jonas Brothers have seven platinum- and gold-certified records outside the United Stats, as well as a sold out European tour, and sold out 80,000-seat stadium shows in Latin America.

Contest ONLY open to those between the ages of 6-18 with diabetes!
“Nick, who has type 1 diabetes and uses the Bayer CONTOUR meter, has taken steps to inspire young people with diabetes to achieve Simple Wins: small, everyday victories for managing diabetes that can lead to big differences over time.
Nick’s Simple Wins are writing lyrics, performing and making music. One example of how he was able to creatively express this was through his song about living with diabetes, “A Little Bit Longer.” Now he wants to encourage other young people with diabetes to share their creativity and their own personal Simple Wins through the Bayer “Express Your Simple Win Creativity Contest.”
Nick says: “With this contest, I hope people are inspired by others’ entries, as well as encouraged to submit and share their own, but most of all, I hope that everyone has fun with it. Diabetes can be hard to live with, but when you manage it well, you can still do the things you love most in the world.”
To enter the Bayer “Express Your Simple Win Creativity Contest,” young people with diabetes between the ages of 6 and 18 are asked to record a 15-30 second video that demonstrates their Simple Win in an artistic way. The personal video submission can be a visual demonstration of original song lyrics, photography, painting/drawing, acting or another form of creativity. Once the video is complete, entrants can go to www.NicksSimpleWins.com and upload and complete the eligibility criteria to enter the contest.
During the last week of each month from April through September, the top three videos will be posted on www.NicksSimpleWins.com and the public will vote on the best one, which will be announced at the end of the month. Each monthly winner will win a prize and be eligible for the Grand Prize drawing. In October, following the end of the contest, the top three favorite videos will be picked by a team of judges and those entrants will get to meet Nick in person.”

The concert film will be offered on Blu-ray in 2-D and 3-D versions. Each version will include two new songs seamlessly integrated into the theatrical version creating a new extended version.
Disney is "maxing" out The Jonas Brothers on Blu-ray with their three-disc combo treatment: Blu-ray + DVD + digital copy. With that package comes a pretty steep SRP of $44.99. Jonas Brothers fans likely won't blink at the price compared to what shelling out for an actual concert ticket would cost.
We don't have a release date or tech specs just yet but those should be available in the near future. If I had to guess then May seems like as good a month as any. In the meantime, check out an early look at the cover art below.

I want to start off by saying thank you to Jordan and Billy from JDRF. Billy was the cameraman and Jordan was the reporter who covered our 3D Movie Premiere in Los Angeles for Nickssimplewins.com. You two did a great job and if you haven't checked it out go to the video section and see all the interviews they captured on the carpet.
We are currently doing one of my favorite parts of being a Jonas Brother. . . recording! The creative process of writing and recording music can be very relaxing, especially when everything around us is going 100 MPH. I can't wait for all of you to hear the new music. We already have 8 - 9 songs done for the next CD.
Last week I spent a day with my partners from Bayer. We spent all day planning everything we are going to bring you this year. It was a very long day which included a photo shoot and video shoot along with some brainstorming sessions. They also previewed some new products and programs we will be launching. You'll learn more about those in the coming months. I have included a couple shots from the day.
Time to head to the studio; don't forget to watch us on the Kids Choice Awards this weekend.
My Simple Win this month? Creating new music for our fans to enjoy.
Happy Easter!
