The event, hosted by lifestyle specialist Kenny Burns, was held at the Park Tavern; an indoor/outdoor venue overlooking Atlanta’s historic Piedmont Park.
Several popular guests, including A&R Executive Coach K, RHOA cast member and entrepreneur Peter Thomas, DJ Mars, up and coming pop group the Yes Ma’ams, and more were spotted mingling about while DJ Trauma kept the music flowing between acts.
Guests were treated to a musical montage of live music featuring MySpace music sensation Mateo, R&B extraordinaire Ray Lavender (you may also remember Ray as one of the contestants on that Omarosa dating show), and special guest performer, singer/songwriter/pianist Avery Sunshine.

Tell Kenny to grow his beard back. Thanks!
Love Ray, with his fine self!
I was very disappointed in this year’s season opener. I was very excited because 1: I was bringing a HOTTT date and 2:Avery Sunshine was going to burn the house down. Well needless to say, AVERY only song 1 song (All in my head) and was finished! WTF!!!!! She was on stage 6 minutes with 32 minutes remaining in the show. Total disappointment. And afterwards, the D.J. started playing club booty music! I thought this was "Live" on the park. I am unsure if I will return for another event.
