Kevin Jonas Sr., lovingly known as “Papa Jonas,” is set to release his debut Christmas EP, Ready Set Glow – A Holiday Collection on November 8. The collection presents a deeply personal, heartwarming, and festive compilation of seven tracks, largely co-written by Jonas, Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame Member and 2017 BMI Icon Bob DiPiero, acclaimed artist-songwriter Amy Stroup, and multi-platinum producer David Kalmusky, who also produced the EP.
Adding to the project's holiday spirit, Kevin’s wife, Denise Jonas, lends her vocals to select tracks, bringing an intimate and family-centered feel to the EP. The Red Van Records release is available for pre-save/pre-add Here.
“Thirty-five years ago, I promised my wife Denise that I would record and release a Christmas record, and now it’s finally coming to life,” Kevin shared. “Ready Set Glow-A Holiday Collection is all about the magic and warmth of the holiday season, shared with family and friends.”
The collection opens with the standout title track, “Ready Set Glow,” a heartfelt duet between Kevin and Denise Jonas that perfectly captures the spirit of Christmas. The song includes guest vocals from members of Jonas Group Entertainment, Red Van Records and friends, embodying the inclusive, communal joy of the holidays.
“The EP also features a co-write with Nick Jonas on ‘Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)’, written when Nick was only 9 years old.”
The exquisitely arranged medley “Jesu Bambino/Oh Holy Night,” recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and arranged by David T. Clydesdale, adds a classic touch that will add to any holiday tradition.
With Ready Set Glow-A Holiday Collection, Kevin Jonas Sr. brings to life a festive celebration of love, laughter, and family—just in time for the holiday season.
