Citizen Cope takes over the Electric Factory Friday and Saturday night with his Rubik’s Cube-style mix of folk, rock, and R&B. We first became acquainted with Cope (aka Clarence Greenwood) back in 2001 when Nelly Furtado was “Like a bird” and he opened for her at the Troc. There he sat on a stool, hair pulled back under a hat, armed only with his guitar and his drawling, slightly scratchy voice. At first we could barely see him, but the storytelling quality of his songs and the uniqueness of his tone drew us closer to the stage. He strummed his guitar and sang about characters from his life and his town, Washington, D.C. His colorful voice painted a mural of a hustler pushing counterfeit bills and lost souls seeking salvation. We and about four other people were mesmerized, while others continued to talk through his set. We signed up for his newsletter and waited for the release of his self-titled album.
