Timberlake, 30, told excited fans, “I did a country song. I just disguised it as something else” before he launched into a soulful a capella performance of his 2002 hit “What Goes Around…Comes Around.”

He took the stage with the Memphis hip-hop, rock and soul fusion band FreeSol –performing a few new songs such as rap ballad “Don’t Give It Away.”

Timberlake Fans weren’t the only ones to attend the concert at the restaurant, other guests included Kim Kardashian and new husband Kris Humphries, Kourtney Kardashian, and Timberlake’s “In Time” co-star Amanda Seyfried.

Billboard reported that several NYPD cruisers lined the block outside Southern Hospitality, but there were no reported incidents. People enjoyed every minute of the surprise show and fans joined Timberlake in singing “What Goes Around…Comes Around,” wrote the magazine.

For those that missed last night’s performance, Timberlake plans to take the stage Thursday night with FreeSol, who was signed to Timberlake’s Tennman Records label in 2006.

“Thanks to everyone who came out to @bbqnyc…amazing night. Now, who’s ready to go again @Irving Plaza?! #national901day” Timberlake tweeted.

National 901 Day, as the show has been billed, is an event to promote not only FreeSol but also 901 Silver Tequila.
