Verizon Wireless announced today that it has teamed up with Jonas Brothers, the famous American pop-rock group, in order to bring their music closer to its subscribers. Jonas Brothers are on a US tour called "Burning Up" and Verizon offers its customers the chance to win tickets to the upcoming venues.

The winners will also get to visit Verizon's Mobile Recording Studio Bus.

V CAST Music with Rhapsody currently offers exclusive live songs from the Jonas Brothers, including "A Little Bit Longer", "Pushing Me Away" and "Shelf". Furthermore, V CAST Video provides access to 10 episodes of live footage with the band.

Kevin Jonas, the oldest of the brothers, said about the collaboration with the second largest US carrier: "We are totally excited to kick off our tour with Verizon Wireless. We look forward to connecting with our fans in cool, new ways through their mobile phones and, of course, in person at our shows very soon."

Ed Ruth, director of digital music for Verizon, added: "We are honored to team up with the Jonas Brothers again, this time not only to connect them with their incredible fan base in fun and innovative ways using their wireless phones, but also to offer our customers a chance to win one of the toughest tickets in town. Jonas Brothers' youthful exuberance brings a fresh new spirit to pop music, and we look forward to delivering exclusive opportunities for their fans and our customers throughout this tour."

Jonas Brothers' "Burning Up" American tour debuted on July 5, in Clarkston, Michigan, and will have its final show on September 5, in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the Cruzan Amphitheatre. Seven of the future concerts, from July 22 to July 26, will be shared with Avril Lavigne.
