Jonas Brothers — squeal! — set to play Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game

By Pegasus News wire

Nothing says football like music from the Jonas Brothers.

The Jonas Brothers band -- said to be moving to the Dallas/Fort Worth area -- will perform live at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game in a nationally televised halftime show that will air on Fox television network on November 27, 2008 at 3:15 p.m.

Previous halftime performers include Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Destiny's Child, Toby Keith, LeAnn Rimes, Creed, Jessica Simpson, Billy Gillman, Clint Black, Randy Travis, and Reba McEntire.

"I was born in Dallas, which makes performing with my brothers at the Cowboys Halftime on Thanksgiving an in credible honor," said Nick Jonas. Added brother Joe Jonas, "This year, more than ever, the Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign will make a huge impact for families at Christmas and throughout the year. It's very important for us to give back." Kevin Jonas finished, "We'd like to thank Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys, Israel Gaither, and The Salvation Army for inviting us to be part of this awesome Thanksgiving tradition. We'll remember this for a long time to come."

The Jonas Brothers - Kevin, Joe and Nick - will perform songs from their platinum third studio album A Little Bit Longer, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in August. Since their recording debut in 2005, Jonas Brothers have released three studio albums and starred in Camp Rock, a 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie. Additionally, Jonas Brothers will be staring in a new Disney Channel Original Series, J.O.N.A.S!, expected to debut on Disney Channel in Spring, 2009.

Au contraire! I'm relieved. I don't watch Thanksgiving football and can now dismiss it openly -- AS a gesture of machismo.

Bonus!
