The band has been equipped by Gibson Guitar with a fully loaded, high-tech tour bus, complete with state of the art recording equipment. The brothers will use their down time to write and record tracks for their next album during the West Coast leg of the tour.

Jonas Brothers will also use the bus to reach out to fans unable to get tickets to the sold out tour by holding special performances in several cities on the itinerary.

Upcoming Band in a Bus stops include San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Tucson. Complete details on when and where to catch special performances are available at www.bandinabus.com.
