ATLANTA - A surprise concert in Piedmont Park featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar ended almost as quickly as it began after authorities shut it down just two songs in.

Caesar, known for his soulful R&B sound, announced the free pop-up show only about an hour before it started on Monday afternoon. The last-minute message quickly spread across social media, drawing hundreds of fans who packed the park’s meadow in anticipation.

Before the performance, Caesar acknowledged the rush , telling the crowd, "Ok, we’re almost home, Atlanta... but we couldn’t do 6:00 because it’s too much traffic."

The performance was part of a string of spontaneous appearances for the Grammy-winning artist, who hosted a similar pop-up concert over the weekend in Houston.
