In honor of Black Music Month, Apple is throwing a month-long celebration, featuring in-store performances at a variety of its Apple store locations throughout the U.S. There will be 22 artists appearing in seven cities, including San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, Troy, Michigan, Santa Monica, California, Miami, and Chicago.

Billboard reports that Michelle Williams, Tiffany Evans, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Cherish, Wyclef Jean, Janelle Monae, Marvin Sapp, Mike Phillips, Yung Berg, B.o.B., Anthony David, Goapele, Vaughn Anthony, MC Lyte, David Banner, Pastor Troy, Killer Mike, Talib Kweli, DJ Irie, Mistah F.A.B. and E-40 will be performing. This month-long celebration gives people a wonderful opportunity to hear these talented artists perform.

If you were looking forward to seeing Tiffany Evans perform, you just missed her; she kicked off the event yesterday, June 1, at the Apple Soho location. Last month, her self-titled album was released via Columbia Records.

The list of artists that will be making an appearance at the various Apple stores throughout the US is impressive. I have met Wyclef Jean and Goapele (pronounced Gwa-pa-lay) a few times and have many of their songs loaded on my iPod nano.

Although I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting Malcolm Jamal Warner, I would like to meet him. I was a big fan of The Cosby Show, and am still hoping the episodes make an appearance at the iTunes store so I can purchase my favorites and watch them on my Apple TV.

I would love to attend one of the shows, but they aren’t appearing in my city. Let us know if you get the chance to check out a performance.
