From day one, Citizen Cope/Clarence Greenwood has taken his case to the people. Touring relentlessly, he has brought his stories—with a band or simply with his guitar—to every venue that would have him. His motivation to make music directly in front of people, no matter the size of the crowd, has won him a vast audience in America and abroad. As a troubadour, he has prospered, tirelessly criss-crossing the land, his songs in his back pocket. Citizen Cope is a self-realized musical/poetic/production entity. In that sense, his Americanism is profound. His accountability is to his own heart, his own values and his own vision.

One dollar of every Citizen Cope ticket purchased will go to purchasing musical instruments for middle schoolers in Lame Deer, Montana—a community on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation. Lame Deer is part of Turnaround Arts <http://turnaroundarts.pcah.gov/> , a program of President Obama’s President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities that is using arts education to help students succeed.
