Special guests TBA
Clarence Greenwood Recordings 10th Anniversary Tour
Fillmore Auditorium
Saturday, November 15
Showtime 9:00 pm / Doors 8:00 pm
“Rawness
improbably balanced by a mixture of danger and delicacy,” says one
Rolling Stone writer, “is what gives Citizen Cope his edge. As a singer,
songwriter and producer, he stands alone—an artist immune to
corruption.”
Dug
deep into the rich soil of American music, Cope’s roots are complex -
you may think of Bill Withers or Neil Young or John Lee Hooker or Van
Morrison or Willie Nelson or Al Green. Yet, listening to Cope, you also
may think of none of the above. You may not think at all, but rather
feel a man exposing stories that haunt his heart.
He
was born Clarence Greenwood, a child of the seventies, and his life
journey is as singular as his art. He is the radically mashed-up product
of Greenville, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee; Vernon, Texas; Austin,
Texas; Washington, DC; and Brooklyn, New York. These locations are felt
everywhere in his stories. His sounds are southern rural, big sky
lonely, concrete urban, and painfully romantic.
In
the past nine years, he has produced four albums of depth and
distinction, each a critical chapter in his search for a sound that
paints an auditory American landscape in which despair wars with hope
and hope, tied to love, is elusive. Cope’s a one-man band, trying to make sense of all the nonsense that marks the 21st Century.
