When Nick Jonas releases the full-length debut from his new band, Nick Jonas and the Administration, in February, it just might squash a few widely held preconceptions — not only of what kind of music a Jonas Brother is capable of making, but of what kind of album can be recorded in country music’s capital.
Jonas recorded the disc, entitled Who I Am, at Nashville’s Blackbird Studios in the spring of 2009, during a two-week break from Jonas Brothers duties. His band is comprised of a team of A-list musicians who’ve backed up the likes of Prince, Backstreet Boys, Switchfoot and Rob Thomas.
We caught up with Nick Jonas during another rare break: while he was out Christmas shopping with his family. He shared his thoughts on the project, the future of the Jonas Brothers and Nashville in advance of his concert on Monday, Jan. 4 at the Ryman Auditorium.
Your Ryman show on Monday comes exactly one year after you performed there with the Jonas Brothers and special guests. We’re starting to get the feeling that you like that room.
“Yeah, I think we’re going to try to make it an annual thing. Every time you’re there, you can kind of feel the presence of the legends that played there. The crowd is full of musicians who are probably better than I am. I try to keep that in mind and have a good time.”

When People Magazine asked Samantha about Nick she began giggling and answered:
“Nick is such a wonderful person. Yeah, we definitely keep in contact.”
Nick may be feeling the pressure to be in a relationship as he is constantly surrounded by older brother Kevin and wife Danielle as well as brother Joe and his new girlfriend Ashley Greene, who he is head over heels for.
So do you think Nick and Samantha are an item?
