Role model: Springsteen’s career has served as a blueprint on how to truly connect with fans, Jonas said
Jonas said Springsteen’s career has served as a blueprint on how to truly connect with fans, saying that he ‘could only hope to have a career as lengthy as his and as important as his has been to people.’
‘That was the thing that really stood out to me after going to a show is just, he’s been a champion for his fans his entire career, and you see it at the shows,’ Jonas said of the Glory Days artist. ‘It’s about them.
‘Every moment’s about them, them having the best experience, best night of their week, their life, their year, whatever.’
Nick said that he and his brothers, Kevin, 33, and Joe, 31, have sought to give the fans a voice with interactive promotions related to material and merchandising.
‘Me and the brothers kind of said that about our shows,’ he said. ‘It’s like, we always want to make sure that our artistic vision comes through and that we’re saying what we want to say, but we also want this to be the best night of our fan’s week or month or year. So we try to bring that same energy and that’s all thanks to Bruce’s model.’
