Glenn-Copeland, Beverly - Laughter In Summer

This one feels like a real coup for us at Dinked – being able to present the new studio album from the legendary singer, composer and transgender activist, Beverly Glenn-Copeland – an artist whose incredible work has finally been getting the attention it deserves in the last decade or so. 

Laughter In Summer is a collaborative effort born from the love story between himself and eco-poet, activist and producer, Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland. They started down this path together nearly half a century ago, and have been trailing it since, hand in hand and song by song, culminating in this love letter to one another: a tender ledger of memories, shared devotion, grief and joy.

From the moment we are born, we begin the long walk home. Elizabeth and Beverly Glenn-Copeland started down the path together nearly half a century ago, and have been trailing it since, hand in hand and song by song. Together, they’ve made a life sharing their unselfish hearts - ones too large for earthly configuration - through art and community, encouraging us all to take our own dance down the road with elemental love and grace.

Now, as Glenn lives with a version of Dementia known as LATE, their walk has taken on a different weight. Out of this season comes Laughter In Summer, an album the couple made together - realising, before long, that it was a love letter to one another: a tender ledger of memories, shared devotion, grief and joy.
