An Unforgettable Night in Brooklyn

SoundCheck Mag pulled off our first-ever full-fledged fan event — Greetings From Your Hometown: A Jonas Brothers Fan Celebration — and it was nothing short of magical.

Over 50 fans came together for an evening of connection, music, and nostalgia. The room buzzed with energy as guests joined in disco dance-offs 🪩, made friendship bracelets 📿, scribbled locker notes 🗒️, and left their “Burning Up” hot takes on a secret phone line 📱.

Fans at the Heart of the Experience

Interactive stations, live music, and fan-led moments turned the night into a celebration not just of the Jonas Brothers, but of the incredible community that surrounds them.

From trivia games and raffle prizes (including signed memorabilia) to goodie bags, food, and drinks, every detail was designed with fans in mind.

This event proved why hiring fans for your marketing matters — they know exactly what the community wants. We brought that vision to life with vendors like Jonas Bestie and the Jonas Junkies fan site, making sure JB fandom voices were front and center.

None of this would have been possible without our team.

A huge shoutout to Rebecca McDevitt, who spent countless hours printing, crafting, wrapping, and building every last detail — pulling this event together in under two months. Devin McDevitt greeted guests at the door, acting as security for the event and ensuring all those who entered were approved guests.

LJ Portnoy was the emcee for the night, hosting Trivia and announcing the raffle winners.

Ilana Bornstein captured the night’s energy on video, while SoundCheck photographer Fernando Flores caught every moment in photos.
