Since kicking off their “Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown” tour on Aug. 10, the Jonas Brothers have thrilled fans with surprise guests at stops along the way.
Demi Lovato, Switchfoot, The Click Five, Hanson, and Cartel, are among some of the surprises that have made headlines this month.
Boston was no different. The New Jersey brothers, known for their Disney Channel beginnings, delivered with three surprise musical guests and an actor cameo at Fenway Park.
“There was this one artist always listened to,” Joe Jonas said, before bringing Carrabba to the stage.
“I don’t know how many times I’ve wept to his music,” the singer added, noting how Carrabba’s music “really taught us how to sing, just from afar.”
After playing his 2004 hit “Vindicated,” Carrabba helped perform “Take a Breath,” a 2007 Jonas Brothers song which Joe said Dashboard Confessional music inspired them to write.

The band welcomed McCartney to the stage with Nick Jonas sharing that the pop star was the first artist who “took a real shot on us” and let them open for him on tour.
McCartney, who previously made an appearance during the opening night of this tour, performed two of his biggest hits, “Leavin'” and “Beautiful Soul,” for Fenway.

Leaning into the hometown theme of the tour, the Jonas Brothers invited Foxborough’s own Joanna “JoJo” Levesque to the stage.
Proudly wearing a custom Red Sox jersey, JoJo sang her hit “Leave (Get Out)” and also helped the Jonas Brothers with their song, “Vacation Eyes.”
