ATLANTA, GA, August 14, 2014- Tuesday night, Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols presented the third annual All White Affair for the August edition of ATL Live on the Park. The all-white event, at Piedmont Park's Park Tavern, included an outstanding lineup of performances by Havok Jones, Kris Kelli, and Tank.
