I guess when I was 16, every now and again I would think, “wow! I am amazing…” or “I did hit that step in an extraordinary fashion…” Its easy to do when you have tens of thousands of people every night screaming your name. Luckily, I never fell into that trap long enough to believe that I was bigger than all of it. Now as an adult, those thoughts never come close to my ego. It’s not about me. Its not about the New Kids. Its about the relationship between us and the fans. The love that it represents is powerful and evidently ever lasting. I am grateful to be a part of it. I had the thought that I would have been just as happy in the crowd at the Kiss Concert watching the New Kids as being up there. There was so much love in that moment that I didn’t care what part I played in it. It just felt good to rejoice over something together with so many people. That being said it was incredible from my perspective.
Everything has gone perfectly. When I look back on The Today Show performance, it just wouldnt have felt right if it didn’t rain. ( I’m sure that the amazing people that showed up for us would beg to differ… “sunny and 70 degrees would have been perfect too, Joe”). When we did that last interview on the stand in the middle of the crowd… Whoa! Another wave of “I thought what we had back in the day was special, but this is crazy!”
This ride has really just begun. We’re gonna have some good times :)
I’m really excited to put this live show together. What a gift to have such a challenge. I say challenge because although its so much fun, we take it very seriously. We want to put on the show of your life time.
Probably the most often said thing from our fans I hear is ” you guys were my first concert!” And thats a very special milestone to behold and be a part of. We cherish that and want to take that to another level x 20.
We’ll keep you posted. Hopefully, you guys will listen and agree with every amazing idea I have :)

Hey all!

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post but we have been rehearsing so hard to get ready for the Today Show, Zootopia, and the Kiss Concert. We were doing six to eight hours a day of dance rehearsal, band rehearsal, working out, oh yeah did I mention in between we found time to shoot a video, cut six or seven more songs for the album, and do endless radio interviews to promote our single Summertime?! Now that the shows are finished, it’s really the first time I can catch a quick breath in weeks! Looking back on all the shows, I’d have to say that overall things went pretty freak’n awesome!!!!!!! I am so happy to finally be able to perform for the fans…It’s really the best way to repay all of you for all of the love you show us. The turn out at the Today Show was unbelievable, Zootopia was insane, and performing in our hometown at the Kiss Concert was one of the greatest times of my life!! Today I’m going to finish editing the video for Summertime before I head to the studio with Joey and Jordan to cut a new song. I can’t wait for you guys to see the video, it’s a lot of fun. Thanks again for all you do for us, seeing you at the shows, autograph signings, or even meeting you in the streets is really the best part of all of this. I feed off of your energy and I can’t wait to hit the road.

Much Love,
Donnie

P.S. Almost every time I meet one of you guys, you say thank you to me for coming back…all I can think to say in return is thank you more. I’m so grateful to all of you. I promise to do all I can to make this a great experience for all of our fans.
