Jonas Brother Franklin Jonas Rocks Milwaukee Stage

Franklin Jonas and his band, The Byzantines, are scheduled to perform at Milwaukee's Shank Hall on September 26 as part of their "First of Many" headline tour. The youngest of the Jonas Brothers, Franklin, has been actively releasing music since 2023, starting with singles like "Cocaine" and "Hoboken," followed by his debut EP "Sewer Rat."

His new project, Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines, has released several songs including "Village Liquors" and "High and Sad." Their music is described as a blend of intimate lyricism and Americana storytelling, enhanced by traditional instrumentation and modern synthesizer elements. The tour, which kicked off on August 8 in Nashville and concludes on October 3 in Massachusetts, will feature all tracks from their forthcoming album.

Previously, Franklin has opened for various artists, including his famous brothers. He also recently collaborated on a re-release of "High and Sad" with his childhood friend Noah Cyrus. Franklin has also had a presence in television, co-hosting ABC's "Claim to Fame" and appearing in Disney Channel productions.

Franklin has openly shared his personal journey, including struggles with mental health and substance use, and his path to recovery. His authentic approach on social media, particularly TikTok, contributed to his rise in online popularity, though his current focus appears to be on his music and comic book endeavors.
