Jonas Brothers' Guitar Technician Defends Nick Against Skepticism He's Not Really Playing Live
Yes, Nick Jonas is actually playing live — despite the internet doing what it does best and yelling “fake!” at a concert clip. An Instagram user went viral questioning whether Nick was really playing guitar during a Jonas Brothers show while performing DNCE’s “Cake by the Ocean.” Enter the receipts. Nick’s own guitar tech, Michael Moschella, shut it down in the comments, explaining that Nick’s guitar is absolutely plugged in, audible in the front-of-house mix, and being played live. The confusion? Nick isn’t playing the flashy lead riff. He’s handling rhythm power chords, backing the band’s guitarist, because — minor detail — it’s a DNCE song, not a Nick-fronted track. The debate popped up as the Jonas Brothers wrapped their JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour, a 75-show North American run supporting their latest album. Meanwhile, Nick is shifting back into solo mode, preparing to release Sunday Best on Feb. 6. The first single, “Gut Punch,” dropped Jan. 1, with Nick calling the album a collection of personal stories decades in the making.
