Citizen Cope

Citizen Cope (Clarence Greenwood) is an American songwriter, producer and performer. His music is commonly described as a mix of blues, soul, folk and rock. Citizen Cope’s compositions have been recorded by artists as varied as Carlos Santana, Dido, Pharoahe Monch and Richie Havens. In 2004 he released The Clarence Greenwood Recordings, which he also produced. Every Waking Moment followed in 2006 (also self-produced). In 2010, Cope decided to found and run his own record label, Rainwater Recordings. The move allowed him to exert full creative control over his music and career, free from the marketing entreaties of the major record labels he previously had been signed to. He released The Rainwater LP that year, producing the entire album. “Let the Drummer Kick” from his 2002 album Citizen Cope went R.I.A.A. gold disc status. Citizen Cope released his latest album, One Lovely Day on July 17, 2012. 

Cope's new album, Heroin and Helicopters is set to release in 2019.
