You might want to hold your hands over your ears before you read this aloud in front of your tween daughters: Nick Jonas is coming to Musikfest.

Jonas, of the famed Jonas Brothers, will hit the Sands Steel Stage on Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. Tickets, at $29 and $39 each, go on sale at 10 p.m. Tuesday.

The following is directly from the news release issued by ArtsQuest today:

“As part of the Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas has entertained sold-out audiences around the world. With two No. 1 albums, its own TV show, film appearances and numerous hit singles to its credit, the group has been one of the most popular acts of the past decade.

The Grammy-nominated trio has won a slew of awards including an American Music Award, as well as multiple Kids' Choice and Teen Choice awards. Worldwide, it has sold more than eight million albums and garnered 36 gold and platinum album certifications.

Originally getting his start in the entertainment world as a performer in Broadway musicals such as Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables, Jonas and his brothers, Joe and Kevin, released their initial album, It’s About Time, in February 2006. The following year, the group put out its sophomore recording, Jonas Brothers, which contained the band’s first Top 20 single, “S.O.S,” launching the trio on its way to becoming an international sensation. The group’s next two albums, A Little Bit Longer and Lines, Vines and Trying Times, both reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold millions of copies around the globe.  

In February 2010, Jonas released the solo album Nick Jonas & the Administration, which spent eight weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 3. His performance at Musikfest, which is sponsored by Bethlehem Orthodontics, will feature a full band and include an opening act to be announced at a later date.”
