The sold out tour with Hanna Montana star Miley Cyrus has elevated the already popular Jonas Brothers into another level of celebrity.

Guitarist Nick Jonas with his brother Joe says the band is "living the dream."

They are Garden State kids, from New Jersey, and are lighting the country up as the opening act for the "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Tour," which has parents across the country cashing in money CD's for tickets.

The Jonas Brothers are Kevin, 20, Joe, 18, and Nick, 15.

The boys have a Disney Channel original movie, "Camp Rock," debuting in the summer, and their rock-stars-as-undercover-spies TV series, "J.O.N.A.S.," will follow in the fall, if the strike lets up.

The Jonas Brothers cite their musical influences as Johnny Cash, Prince, Stevie Wonder, the Animals, the Rascals, the Steve Miller Band, and the Beatles, in a phone interview with the Boston Globe.

The brothers, like Miley Cyrus, also plan on taking their stage career further into acting.
