Nick Jonas & the Administration was a band formed in late 2009 as a side project by Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Performers included singer, pianist, guitarist, drummer, and songwriter Nick Jonas, bassist John Fields, drummer Michael Bland, keyboardist Tommy Barbarella, and guitarist David Ryan Harris. Sonny Thompson replaced Harris during the 2010 Who I Am Tour. The group was named after Nick Jonas's interest in the presidency.
History
=Group formation=
"I had written five or six songs that were on my heart, things that were just pouring out of me with this new and exciting sound", said Jonas. "They weren't necessarily right for the Jonas Brothers, but I thought they could be perfect for something else."
The band was announced on the official MySpace page of the Jonas Brothers on October 30, stating it was just a "side project" and that this was not the end of the band.{{cite web |url=http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=22191827&blogId=516146601 |title=WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP - MySpace-blog | van Jonas Brothers |publisher=Blogs.myspace.com |access-date=2010-09-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100807180204/http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=22191827&blogId=516146601 |archive-date=2010-08-07 |url-status=dead }} "I'm kind of modeling it after Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band", Nick said. "It's kind of the look we were going for stylistically on the album cover and just the project in general… [Springsteen] pours so much passion and emotion into all of his songs every night and I hope I can capture that too."
The Administration members Michael Bland, Tommy Barbarella and Sonny Thompson formerly played together in Prince's New Power Generation from 1991 to 1996. All three were original members.

On September 21, the first day of the tour, it was announced that Jonas' last concert date of the tour (San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 11) was cancelled. The producer of the Puerto Rico date, César Sainz, confirmed the information the same day. Nick's reason to cancel the last show was that his training for the role of J. Pierrepont Finch, which will replace Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe and Glee's Darren Criss, in the revival of Broadway's How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying will take place in Los Angeles starting on October 10.{{cite web|url=http://www.elnuevodia.com/nickjonascancelaconciertoenpuertorico-1072959.html|title=Portada - El Nuevo Día|work=El Nuevo Dia|access-date=11 March 2015|date=2011-09-21|archive-date=2014-12-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224112232/http://www.elnuevodia.com/nickjonascancelaconciertoenpuertorico-1072959.html|url-status=dead}} On September 23, the news was confirmed via Nick Jonas' website.{{cite web|url=http://nickjonline.com/2011/09/nick-jonas-canceling-show-in-puerto-rico/|title=Nick J Online - Nick Jonas|access-date=11 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108100319/http://nickjonline.com/2011/09/nick-jonas-canceling-show-in-puerto-rico/|archive-date=8 November 2014|url-status=usurped|df=dmy-all}}
