The one time I wear flats, I stand next to tall “A”zz Keri Hilson! *sigh* It doesn’t matters though because it was fun times in the “A” as ATL Live on the Park continued it’s monthly music event last night (May 15, 2012).
Season 3 of Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols’ live musical extravaganza jumped off with an explosive set of performances, which included headliner R&B sensation Tank, who serenaded the audience with past hits and his latest single from his fifth studio album, “This is How I Feel.”
Guests also enjoyed a performance by R&B legendary soul singer Case, who just so happened to have serenaded me personally a few days ago, as well as a surprise performance from RL (formerly of NEXT), J. Holiday, and Brandon of Jagged Edge
A camera crew from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta also came through to the surprise of Chilli & Floyd Mayweather (who were boo’d up on the DL at the normally low-key industry event).

The Atlanta music series ATL Live on the Park was held last night at Park Tavern and if you FOLLOW ME on Twitter, you may have noticed my series of #awkwardmoment tweets…
You’ve probably never seen a “Sean Garrett” post on SFTA and I wasn’t going to do one this time.
That is… until Gyant used my “Awkward Moment” tweets as inspiration for an open letter to Garrett…. and well, I couldn’t have said it better myself. *sigh*
Sheree Whitfield, Tameka Raymond, Q Parker, NEXT, Fonzworth Bentley, former Falcons Bob Whitfield & Jamal Anderson were just a few of the hometown faves spotted at ATL Live On The Park last week.

Overheard: “You just posed between two of the most notorious “exes” in Atlanta…”
And yes… Tameka is still yappin about me not liking her but I coulda sworn I forgave her about that death threat when we had that long “A”zz conversation at Essence last year. But I digress…
Event producers Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols did a wonderful job bring together over 300 Atlanta tastemakers and music industry insiders to celebrated the One-Year Anniversary of the event, held at Park Tavern in midtown.
Heralded as the most exclusive live music showcase in the city author/musician Fonzworth Bentley wowed the crowd with his expertly choreographed routine and R&B group NEXT reunited as headliners of the hot show.
When RL spotted 112’s Q Parker sitting in the audience alongside his wife Sherlinda, he handed him the mic urging him to sing a few bars.
Q first sung a lick while sitting but soon hit the stage, giving the hyped crowed a brief 112 flashback…
