About
Citizen Cope on Tour
Citizen Cope conveys a kind of quiet authority onstage, a casual command that lets the audience know from the moment he opens his mouth that he's a musical force of nature. Whether he's up there alone with only his songs and his acoustic guitar for company or he's backed up by a full electric band, Cope knows exactly how to capture an audience's attention and hold it for every moment of his performance.
His organic blend of influences encompasses everything from folk and rock to R&B and pop. With his rich, soulful voice and his knack for potent melodic statements, he makes all of his diverse inspirations flow smoothly into the same sonic river. He gives his audience the opportunity to ride along, soak it all up, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.
Citizen Cope Background
The man who came into this world as Clarence Greenwood (before redefining his musical identity and rechristening himself Citizen Cope) got his start working with Washington, D.C., band Basehead before branching off on his own as a singer-songwriter. Not counting a limited-edition indie LP in the 1990s, he released his first widely distributed album in 2002.
That same year, Santana covered Cope's song "Sideways," bringing him in for a guest appearance on the tune to boot. Carlos Santana returned the favor by appearing on Cope's own recording of the song two years later.
It was Cope's 2006 album, Every Waking Moment, that turned out to be his commercial breakthrough, earning him a bigger audience than ever. Since then, his music has been heard just about everywhere, from TV shows (Entourage, Smallville) to film soundtracks (Ghost Town, Fracture), but it's at his concerts that Cope really turns on the magic to the maximum.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Wonderful evening
by Linda S on 5/8/23Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleWe were at the listening party before the show to hear the new record. It was wonderful. I can't wait to listen to it more when it comes out. Cope's lyrics are so poetic- they slay me. Simple yet profound and deep. The live performance was great as usual - but even better than usual. Cope seems like he is in a very good place and it was shining through in his performance - I love seeing him smile so much. Altogether - just an absolutely fantastic evening.

by SKM23 on 5/5/23Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaThe Buckhead Theatre was a perfect venue for Citizen Cope's solo acoustic concert. No matter where you're sitting, you can see and hear the performance. His voice cuts through, and he puts on a great show. He knows how to connect with his audience. A poet and storyteller.

by Patti on 6/22/22The Anthem - WashingtonI enjoyed seeing Citizen Cope so much in January that I bought tickets for his DC show and he wasn’t a disappointment! Clarence Greenwood is a talented performer and creator. He welcomes the audience and enjoys participation. His songs are soulful. To me he comes across personally as a person who cares about people and the woes of the world. Beautiful ❤️

by Art Teacher on 6/22/22The Anthem - WashingtonClarence delivered. He praised his band members 3 separate times. Each time the crowd cheered louder. The show energy grew exponentially during each song. Cope’s lyrics tell stories with visual clues that send away the ego leaving heart and soul soaring with love. Thank you for making DC the best. ❤️Tracy B.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Citizen Cope 6/18/2022
by Second Time at AnTHEem on 6/21/22The Anthem - WashingtonI took the metro to L'Enfant Plaza and made the short walk to the venue from there (~10 min). The line to get in was quick and easy. Clarence came on a bit late, and there was no opening act, which was kind of a bummer. The show was phenomenal, though! My biggest complaint is that the draft beer I got was not cold.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Almost perfect
by Jess D on 6/18/22The Wilbur - BostonCitizen Cope was great! We traveled far and he did not disappoint… except he advertised Alice Smith as his opening act. We were deeply disappointed she wasn’t there. A simple acknowledgement would have even made a difference!
