Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas took to the Citi Concert Series stage to perform and discuss 20 years of making music.

They also talked about how their latest album is an homage to where they came from.

"The main thing for us was about telling our stories over the last couple years, trying to be as authentic and honest as possible and getting back in touch with our musical roots but also our literal roots in New Jersey, and as a family and you know your hometown is never just one feeling," Joe Jonas said. "Sometimes it's positive memories, sometimes it comes with some tougher moments and that's what makes us all human and connects us all."

The group also stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday to discuss the inspiration for the album, as well as their tour, which kicks off Sunday in New Jersey.

"Well, it's called Greetings From Your Hometown, and we went and shot this at the Belmont in New Jersey, which is an iconic restaurant," Joe Jonas, 35, said. "...Really it's a combination of the music that inspired us growing up, some punk, pop-rock stuff."

He said the album also tips its hat to the "music that our dad raised us on."

The album contains 14 tracks and collaborations with Dean Lewis, Switchfoot, and Marshmello.

In "Loved You Better," featuring Lewis, the brothers sing about regret and longing for a lost love.

Other songs on the album include "I Can't Lose," "Tables," "Love Me to Heaven," "No Time to Talk," "Backwards," "Greetings From Your Hometown," "When You Know," "Heat of the Moment," "Bully," "Waste No Time," "Lucky," "Mirror to the Sky" and "Slow Motion."

"This album brings together so many pieces of our 20-year journey as a band and beyond," the band wrote in an Instagram post announcing the album's release. "To the fans who've walked this road with us, thank you. You're the heart of it all."

Fallon asked what 20 years of making music means to the band members.

"It's hard to believe. You know, in a lot of ways, it feels like it flew by," said Nick Jonas, 32. "And others, you know, I think we are just so grateful for every moment to have fans as supportive as our fans have been, for as long as they've been -- it just means so much."

The band is celebrating the new music and the 20-year milestone with their Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, which runs through Nov. 14.

"This tour is both a celebration of 20 years of making music together and kicking off the next 20 with our new album, making this the most special performance we've ever done," they said.
