These days, Citizen Cope's Clarence Greenwood [pictured] reps Brooklyn to the fullest, but his sound resides in a different part of the country. The singer/songwriter blends southern rock, blues, and soul with everyman lyrics for an aesthetic that seems more wide open spaces than concrete jungle. Over the span of his three solo album career, Greenwood has collaborated with the likes of Santana, and MeShell DeNdegeocello (on his breakout hit, "Sideways,") and his tunes have made their way into films and tv programs like Scrubs.
Greenwood is bringing his sonic fusion to Houston this Friday when he performs at Warehouse Live, and we have a pair of tickets to give away! Just send us your name and phone number to contest (at) houstonist (dot) com. The contest ends at noon tomorrow.
