Citizen Cope has announced a Summer tour with a solo acoustic show at World Cafe Live at The Queen in Wilmington on Thursday, August 1. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday, May 3rd at Noon.
With a digital presence as sparse as their ethereal R&B, Project Maldonado are days away from being the next big thing. You heard it here first…after I heard it on Earmilk . Their debut EP, and its enticingly stellar first track "Seraphim", is a testament to meticulously crafted rhythm and blues. Parts Citizen Cope, parts Damian Marley, parts something else indescribably soulful. Little internet birdies are chirping that this might be the work of English musician Liam Bailey , but I am basing that purely on hearsay, so take that with a [...]
Last night, a motley crew of stage and screen stars paid tribute to newly resurgent pop legend Prince at NYC's Carnegie Hall. Among the performers: D'Angelo, the Waterboys, Elvis Costello, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, Talib Kweli, Sandra Bernhard, Nina Persson (the Cardigans), the Blind Boys Of Alabama, Betty Lavette, and Fred Armisen, who has played the Purple One on SNL for almost a decade. The Roots were the backing band all night, and $100,000 was raised for music education charities. LaVette covered "Kiss," Waterboys did "Purple Rain," D'Angelo sung "It's Going To Be A Beautiful Night," [...]
Indie chillwave artist Toro y Moi comes to Union Transfer tonight. Born Chaz Bundick, the South Carolina native just released his third studio album Anything in Return. Where his previous recordings were experimental collages of sonic textures and patterns, Anything in Return broadens Bundick's palette to pair jazz and R&B structures alongside his staccato production style. ...

XPN welcomes Citizen Cope to World Cafe Live at The Queen. Cope (off-stage name: Clarence Greenwood) released One Lovely Day last year. Though primarily focusing on an acoustic singer-songwriter style these days, the Memphis-born musician and producer blends his background in hip hop with the occasional electronic flourish to amp up his laid-back delivery. Tickets ... Continue reading
Citizen Cope was just waiting to get remixed properly, and who better then Figure to do the job? He remixed the song "Lifeline" to raise awareness for Hurricane Sandy relief. You can download the song through his website where there are links to a variety of organizations to donate for relief towards Hurricane Sandy. The powerful remix really hits home, and fits the message well. As Figure said, he is just trying to send a Lifeline to the east. Listen an download the passionate remix, and if [...]

The weekend has come and gone, and now you're deep into your weekly grind. Never fear, Wobble Wednesday is back with more of your favorite face-melting bass drops to help you make the most of your mundane lifestyle. Today I'll be guiding you along through the many variations of bass music that we see these days, new and old. I wanted to turn the Wobble Wednesday feature into more than just a section for today's dubstep, so I decided it was only right to incorporate some drum & bass as well as a summer time mix of the week section [...]

Figure has been making headway amongst bass-heads for quite some time now. He's released his remix of Citizen Cope's 'Lifeline' for free and all he asks is that you donate whatever you can to the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. It's always heart-warming to see musicians engage in charitable initiatives but it's even better when the music itself sounds great. He couldn't have picked a better track to work with and the end product sounds almost theatrical. We encourage you to help out the relief effort in any way possible. Figure on Soundcloud | [...]

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, members of the dance music community have stepped up to try and help relief efforts. For his part, Figure has released a free remix of Citizen Cope's "Lifeline" but is giving fans the option to donate funds to the cause instead. He says, "This remix seems fitting for what's going on today, so releasing it into the wild with hopes it raises awareness for our friends along the Eastern seaboard who need a little lifeline right now." Even if it's just the $1.99 you might have paid for the song on iTunes, we [...]
Get ready for a throwback to the grunge era tonight with '90s alt rockers Dinosaur Jr. as they perform at Union Transfer on their I Bet On Sky tour. The band, who is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their renowned 1987 album You're Living All Over Me this year, reunited in 2005 after taking an eight-year break. ... Continue reading
Citizen Cope released his fifth album, "One Lovely Day" this past July and quickly headed out on a 47-date headlining tour including a stop at the National tonight (Oct. 25). For over a decade, Citizen Cope has been building a profoundly dedicated following, tirelessly bringing his urban folk—with a band or simply his guitar— to far corners of the US and beyond. A child of the seventies, Citizen Cope 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 [...]
Terraplane Sun is a five-piece outfit from Venice Beach, CA whose recent "Ya Never Know" introduced a blossoming artist with lots of promise. The vocals of Ben Rothbard and instrumental uniqueness works the laid-back reggae rock style that Citizen Cope perfected years back with "Bullet And A Target. Yet the piano plays such an important role here, which forcefully makes us +1 this track right off the bat. TS' sound drowns us in California sound like Delta Spirit and many others do so well. Terraplane Sun supported another MUF favorite Alabama Shakes on tour along this [...]

Bloc Party at KEXP on Sept. 28, 2012 photo by Dave Lichterman What a whirlwind of special programming this week has been! I’m still humming classic songs from last night’s 1972 flashback edition of “The Roadhouse” (damn you, Greg Vandy, for getting “Stuck In The Middle With You” wedged in my noggin!), and I’ve been closely monitoring our countdown of the top albums of the past 40 years . But don’t think for a minute that special Fall Fundraising Drive programming preempts our commitment to bringing you all the other KEXP features you love. [...]
