Citizen Cope... AKA Clarence Greenwood

This group is dedicated to Citizen Cope...an under-appreciated musician with under-appreciated music.

You may recognize some of his songs from movies or TV. Including 'Let the Drummer Kick', 'Bullet and a Target', 'Sideways' and 'Son's Gonna Rise'.

The goal of this group is to spread the word about Citizen Cope and how great his music is. Invite all of your friends, family, acquaintances, etc so that the group can grow and help promote this great music.

If there are any Cope fans who have ideas for this group just ask and I'll make you an officer.

"His music is simple to the point of being stripped down, as if bearing it all was the only way to get our attention. The Spartan band behind him was made up of a drummer, a bassist, two keyboardists, and Cope on guitar. A mix of hip-hop, folk, and blues his songs are mostly beats - mix bass drum, high hat, snare, clap track and repeat - buffed smooth by a haggard, road-weary voice. Uncommon chords for texture and keyboards for lift."
