This past week I had the pleasure of covering the Ladies Night Edition of ATL Live on the Park at Park Tavern for Tastemaker Mag. This was my 1st time attending, but will definitely not be my last. The talent was a who's who of female artists (to include some surprise performances sprinkled in for good measure.) So without further ado...

The beautiful and talented Demetria McKinney helped get the party started with an outstanding performance culminating with a special appearance by...

Yep - Da Brat hopped onstage with Demetria McKinney to perform "100" off Demetria's upcoming album "Officially Yours".

Renowned songwriter Crystal Nicole kept the party going with an amazing set which included a song written by her (and performed by Monica) titled "Love All Over Me" as well as her new single "Sundown".

...and this set up the 2nd surprise of the evening; an unforgettable performance by the gorgeous Keke Wyatt who treated the crowd to a stellar rendition of "If Only You Knew"

...the just as we thought the surprises were finished, on the stage walks surprise number 3; R&B artist extraordinaire Joe. As the ladies in the audience came to their feet, he treated everyone to two of his hits; "All the Things Your Man Won't Do" and "I Wanna Know"

As you can see below, his performance also had Keke Wyatt's seal of approval.

An overall wonderful event hosted by Kenny Burns with sounds brought to us (between acts) by DJ Trauma - can't wait until the next...

MANY thanks to Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols for bringing such a wonderful event to ATL.
