Nick Jonas Going Solo

nick jonasNick Jonas is going it alone. The youngest of the group, Nick, 17, has announced five concert dates with his side project, Nick Jonas & The Administration. Tickets for the concerts, which will be performed in more “intimate” venues than where The Jonas Brother performed, will go on sale Saturday. Dates for the show are as followed: Dallas (Jan. 2), Nashville (Jan 4), Washington, D.C. (Jan. 6), New York City (Jan. 7) and Chicago (Jan. 17). Usmagazine reports that Jonas will be singing songs off of the group’s upcoming album Who I Am, which will come out February 2nd.

This does not mean the Jonas Brothers are breaking up. Nick took to his MySpace blog and had this to say, “We’ve said from the beginning of our career as the Jonas Brothers that anything we do outside of the group is a side project because you can’t break up brothers. My brothers are my biggest supporters, and were on the phone with me every day while I was in the studio asking how it was going, and telling me they couldn’t wait to hear the record.”

Nick Jonas & The Administration will make their performance debut at Wednesday’s Grammy Nomination Concert, airing live at 9p.m./ET on CBS.
