The Georgia World Congress Center Authority is pleased to announce that R&B vocal trio After 7 will headline this year’s Fourth of July celebration. The group features Kevon Edmonds and Melvin Edmonds and Keith Mitchell. The Edmonds brothers are the siblings of R&B singer-songwriter-producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. After 7 is best known for its chart-topping hits “Ready or Not” and “Can’t Stop.”
