Currently finishing up a late-spring headlining run, singer/multi-instrumentalist Citizen Cope [ tickets ] has announced dates for a solo acoustic tour this fall.

The performer--whose real name is Clarence Greenwood--will kick off the run Sept. 24 in Northampton, MA, with 19 dates spread across parts of three months. Over the summer, Cope will make several appearances at large outdoor festivals, including a July 5 slot at rural Michigan's Rothbury Festival, and an Aug. 9 booking at Baltimore's Virgin Festival.

The Tennessee native is scheduled to play tonight (6/25) in Ortley Beach, NJ. The full schedule is included below.

Cope continues to back his most recent album, 2006's "Every Waking Moment." The set, which is the singer's third studio effort and second for the RCA label, peaked at No. 69 on The Billboard 200 album chart.

Earlier this year, Cope was released from his RCA contract and is mulling his options for future releases, according to a recent interview with Billboard.com.

"I'm kind of considering my own imprint, maybe in conjunction with a major label, but we'll see," he said.
