The Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2023 was just announced and representing our home state are the Jonas Brothers.

Nick, Joe, and Kevin are from Wyckoff, NJ, and Kevin Jonas actually still lives here with his wife and two daughters.

I remember going to PNC Bank Arts Center in the summer of 2005 to see the Backstreet Boys and it was announced that these three local kids were going to be the opener to the main opener, which was Click Five.

The seating area wasn’t even half full when these three young brothers took the stage to play for a solid 20 minutes.

And after the show, they stood outside the venue meeting any fans that wanted to stop and talk to them.

I remember my friends and I approaching them because there was no one waiting to meet them, and we took a picture that lives on my RAZAR flip phone that I can no longer retrieve.

Those three brothers would later become one of the biggest boy bands in the world, The Jonas Brothers.

Having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is big deal and the JoBros definitely deserve it.

If you’re thinking of taking a trip out to Hollywood to see these stars, they are along the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard for 15 blocks and Vine Street for three blocks.
