NJ Pop Star Joins Local Band For Surprise Performance At Jersey Shore Bar

BEACH HAVEN, NJ — The crowd at Bird & Betty's on Long Beach Island got a star-studded surprise Saturday night when a local pop star joined the band onstage with one of his own band's most popular hits.

Kevin Jonas from the Jonas Brothers joined the Gab Cinque Band (along with the Jonas Brothers' beloved security guard, Robert "Big Rob" Feggans) for a rendition of the 2008 hit "Burnin' Up."

Gab Cinque Band vocalist and NJ native Gab Cinque shared in a social media post that it was a "dream come true."

"The 2010 Jonas Brothers/Camp Rock tour was the first big concert I ever went to… 9 year old Gab would be proud," Cinque wrote.

Videos circulating on social media show Jonas playing guitar as the crowd sings along.

Jonas, 37, is no stranger to LBI. He's been a frequent visitor for several years, having previously joined another band on stage for a performance at Bird & Betty's in 2023.

Jonas was born in Teaneck and raised in Wyckoff; he currently resides in Denville with his wife and their two daughters.

Just a week prior, the Jonas Brothers kicked off their latest tour at MetLife Stadium in celebration of the band's 20th anniversary.
