A man with a guitar and a mission, Citizen Cope is a multi-talented sonic auteur who inspires audiences with his songs and impassioned performances. Born Clarence Greenwood, Citizen Cope is a self-taught musician who grew up grooving to Sly Stone, Willie Nelson, Al Green and whatever else he could sneak from his big sister’s vinyl stash. Cope challenges classification because his influences are so broad, from swampy blues to urban hip-hop and rural roots rock.
