Citizen Cope (a.k.a. Clarence Greenwood) is just what his name implies: an everyman just trying to get by. But this everyman has a unique gift for music and storytelling. He takes snapshots of the world around him, and turns them into universal truths. He sets them to the simplest of melodies, and weds those in turn to the most soul-stirring grooves. His songs are about people, their trials, their victories and defeats. In short, Citizen Cope sings about all of us.
