The Jonas Brothers Invite Houston Fans to Join ‘X the TXT’ Team
Press Release Source: Allstate Corporation On Tuesday September 7, 2010, 9:08 am EDT

LEAGUE CITY, Texas, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ — Allstate’s X the TXT social initiative is partnering with the Jonas Brothers’ “Road Dogs” softball tour to raise teen awareness about the dangers of texting while driving and to encourage young people and their families to pledge not to text and drive. The 12-city tour is headed to the Houston area where the Road Dogs will be playing ball in support of X the TXT. The game is on Saturday, Sept. 11, at League City, Tex., on Ebbett’s Field at Big League Dreams Sports Park where the Road Dogs will be taking on the Marquis Jet Flyers. All Road Dogs games are free and open to the public. Tickets are limited to each stadium’s capacity. The gates open at 11:00 a.m. and the game starts at 12:15 p.m.

Road Dogs started when the Jonas Brothers played recreational softball games while on tour in 2009. The games became very popular with fans after one of the brothers mentioned the games on a social media site. This year, they will be playing seven innings of softball at minor league stadiums throughout the country. At each venue they are working with Allstate to educate fans about the dangers of texting and driving.

During the game, fans can join the Jonas Brothers in pledging not to text and drive by adding their thumbprint – the symbol of their pledge – to a banner that will be traveling with the Road Dogs tour. Participants will receive “TXTNG KLLS” thumb bands to wear as a reminder of their commitment. Throughout the game, fans will also have the opportunity to win autographed t-shirts and other prizes.

“It is really important that our fans understand just how dangerous texting while driving is,” said Kevin Jonas. “Pledging not to text and drive is a promise to your friends, your family and yourself to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.”

Grammy®-nominated artist Jordin Sparks kicked off Allstate’s X the TXT last November with a 29-city national tour of live pledge events, a Facebook virtual pledge page, and a petition urging Congress to address the issue of texting while driving. Most recently, X the TXT events were held at each of Sparks’ 29 concerts during her Battlefield tour. In addition to Sparks, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, David Archuleta, Jason Derulo, Meredith Vieira, and more than 85,000 Americans have pledged not to text and drive.

The social initiative is part of Allstate’s broader efforts to make our roads safer, especially for young drivers.

“If you text while driving, you are 23 times more likely to crash. Our young drivers are especially susceptible to this risk due to the pressure to stay in constant contact with friends,” said Joan Walker, senior vice president of corporate relations at Allstate. “By encouraging teens to change this dangerous behavior, Allstate hopes to save young people’s lives.”

Texting is one of the most dangerous distractions facing drivers today, particularly among teens, of which car crashes are the number one killer. According to a recent Allstate Foundation study, 49 percent of driving teens admit to being extremely distracted by texting and instant messaging while driving. And, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports driver distraction contributes to 25 percent of all police-reported traffic crashes.

Allstate hopes more people will join the cause in urging Congress to create stronger laws, not just to ban texting while driving, but to make young drivers safer drivers. One way to do this is through the enactment of the Safe Teen and Novice Driver Uniform Protection (STANDUP) Act (H.R. 1895, S. 3269), which would require states to pass and enforce minimum standards for graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws. The STANDUP Act is currently awaiting Congressional approval.

ARTICLE: Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato’s ‘Camp Rock 2? Style

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers are getting ready to go back to camp–in style, of course! In preparation for Disney’s upcoming original movie, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam–premiering September 3–the film’s costume designer, Mona May, gave PEOPLE the inside scoop on Demi and the boys’ onscreen looks. “The Jonas Brothers have a certain look and they like to keep that look while blending it with the character and more casual outdoorsy feel for the setting of Camp Rock,” said Mona, who found fashion inspiration in iconic bands like the Rolling Stones and The Mamas & The Papas, to create the stars’ cool artsy look. And for the leading lady? “Demi Lovato wanted to use a lot of vintage and have a feel of very funky and classic 1960s rock influence,” revealed Mona. “She loves wearing dresses so we did that making sure that she can perform all the dance numbers.” We can’t wait to see Demi and the Jonas Brothers moving and shaking through Camp Rock 2 in their cool clothes! –Jessie Goldberg

ARTICLE: Now pitching, the Jonas Brothers

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Oh, the screaming!

Nothing can prepare you for the screaming: Nearly 5,000 teenage girls shrieking, screeching, squealing, and squeaking in unison.

No, we’re not in a war zone. This is a Jonas Brothers zone.

The boy-band trio – Nick, 17, Joe, 21, and Kevin, 22 – took over Campbell’s Field in Camden on Friday afternoon to play a free softball game with the Road Dogs, their home-brewed team of roadies and pals, in support of Allstate’s “X the TXT” campaign, a national effort encouraging kids not to text while driving.

(The boys performed Friday evening at Camden’s Susquehanna Bank Center.)

The Allstate gig is one of the many causes the nice-guy brothers have supported over the course of their TV and music careers.

Fans – overwhelmingly teen girls – say they dig the message. But they had more important things on their minds: To see the boys, maybe say hi to the boys, maybe even touch the boys.

Their jones for the Jonases seems to reach absurd levels.

South Philly pals Nicolette Gleason, 13, and Samantha Landi, 14, waited for hours to get seats along the third-base line. “We’ve seen them four times each,” said Landi, who cited “Fly With Me” as her favorite song and Nick as her favorite Jonas.

Each girl carried a two-foot-high cardboard heart decorated with Jonas Brothers-related photos, postcards, concert tickets, and song lyrics.

Gleason turned serious when asked if she’s met the boys. “We have,” she said, blushing, “well, to say hi and shake hands.”

Mary Jo Yorks, 52, drove her daughter Jaycee, 14, and Jaycee’s pal, Makayla, 15, from their home in Nescopeck Township, Luzerne County, a 21/2-hour trip.

Luzerne? Pshaw! Try Venezuela. Daniela Cossio, 16, and her sister, Alejandra, 18, had their mom bring them from Caracas.

Asked why they are so devoted to the Jonas Brothers, fans and moms alike kept using one word – well, aside from cute – to describe the singers: wholesome.

“It’s clear they’ve been well-raised,” said Woodbury’s Amy Swanson, 35, who was at the game with a gaggle of super-young fans ranging in age from 5 to 9.

“They’re really good boys from a good family,” Yorks said.

Audubon Park’s Anne Marie Levin, 47, said she is impressed by Nick’s openness about his diabetes.

“It’s inspired my daughter [Michayla, 12,] who has Type 1 diabetes. . . . It’s a great message, to say you can handle the illness and have a lifestyle, too.”

It’s very hard not to like the boys. Even if you try hard. (Some of us have tried.)

They were respectful, polite, and sweet during a brief pregame chat.

“It’s for a great cause,” said Kevin, who pitches for the Dogs, about the “X the TXT” softball games the band has been playing during their tour.

Joe assured fans the game wouldn’t deplete the band’s mojo. (The fans’ screampower, and the sheer force of their countless Oh my God!s, we’re sure, will help pump ‘em up.)

The Jonas Brothers love-in had no end. Even Sewell resident and home plate umpire Joe Marshall, who presided over a Dogs game last year, is impressed by the boys.

Asked – repeatedly and vehemently – if we should expect roughhousing, trash-talking, or fighting from the pop stars, he insisted, “Oh no, they’re good boys.”

ARTICLE: Demi Lovato and Jonas Brothers rock out one last time

If you liked “Camp Rock,” you’re going to love “Camp Rock 2,” says star and teen pop sensation Demi Lovato.

“And if you didn’t like ‘Camp Rock’?'” Lovato adds. “You’re still going to love ‘Camp Rock 2.’?”

“Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” premiering Friday at 8 on Disney, is the sequel to 2008′s No. 1 cable movie, featuring Lovato and Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas. In the new installment, the gang is back for another summer of fun, but when the flashier, state-of-the-art Camp Star sets up shop across the lake and starts luring away campers and instructors, the future of Camp Rock is put in jeopardy.

“There’s an interesting ending, very unexpected, which I love,” says Kevin Jonas. “It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about who you are on the journey. And it’s not about one person trying to be great, it’s about a group of people coming together, trying to make a difference.”

As in the first movie, there is plenty of singing and dancing going down at Camp Rock. All the dance numbers were choreographed by Rosero McCoy, who has worked with Usher and ‘N Sync. The songs were written by such talents as “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi.

There’s one particular song, “Introducing Me,” that Nick’s character, Nate, sings to a new love interest to tell her about himself. The lyrics include, “I eat cheese, but only on pizza, please/ And sometimes on a homemade quesadilla/ Otherwise, it smells like feet to me.”

Fans should take note, however, that the song is about Nick’s character, not the JoBro himself.

“There’s a line that says I like checks with lots of zeroes on them, and I’m not necessarily concerned with that,” Nick says. “He also says he doesn’t like cars, and I love cars. Those are the main differences. But other than that, I guess we’re pretty similar.”

Jonas Brothers to visit UK school

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

US boy band The Jonas Brothers are to host a special music lesson for 200 pupils at a Tyneside school.

Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas will visit Ryton Comprehensive School in Gateshead later to pass on tips on learning guitar and song arranging.

The visit is part of the government’s Tune In – Year of Music campaign which aims to inspire young musicians.

The three brothers said they were excited to be given the chance to share their “passion” for the subject.

Kevin Jonas said: “We hope to inspire kids to pick up an instrument if they have never done so before or to practice more if they already know how to play.”

The clean-cut band, which has so far failed to break into the UK top 10 singles chart, has attracted a large teenage following by staring in Disney films such as Camp Rock.

Steve Williamson, head teacher at the school, said “We are very proud to have The Jonas Brothers come to our school today.

“Ryton runs a number of extra-curricular music activities and I hope that The Jonas Brothers coming to the school will inspire more children to get involved in music.”

The group is set to play at Newcastle Metro Radio Arena following the visit.
