Beginning in 1970, he released records that crossed folk, R&B, electronic music, and other genres, always seeking new territory. That changed in 2017, when his 1986 album Keyboard Fantasies was rediscovered, ushering in renewed interest in his work.\n\nSince then, Glenn — who came out as a trans man in 2002 — has toured and released new music for a growing, devoted audience. In 2024, however, he was diagnosed with dementia. While at first they thought this would be the end of his performing career, Glenn and his wife, Elizabeth Copeland, are returning to play a short run of Canadian dates and releasing a new album, Laughter in Summer, on Feb. 6 via Transgressive Records.\n\nKEXP’s Dusty Henry speaks with the couple about returning to music in the face of Glenn’s diagnosis, the purpose and power of their work, and the love that binds them together.\n\n“I always considered that the music that I ‘wrote’ was sent to me from a higher source,” Glenn says. “You can't do that if you don't work at your craft, whatever it is. But if you do, and there's something special about what you're doing, then you're going to get sent some amazing stuff.” https://www.kexp.org/podcasts/a-deeper-listen/2026/2/3/beverly-glenn-copeland-and-elizabeth-copeland-on-the-hard-commitment-of-love/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3616441, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3616441/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-12T04:50:19-08:00", "show": 65910, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65910/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721801.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-4fc9d37b-b490-4edc-9dbc-7d81ea3b0d77/mbid-4fc9d37b-b490-4edc-9dbc-7d81ea3b0d77-44323012106_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn721801.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-4fc9d37b-b490-4edc-9dbc-7d81ea3b0d77/mbid-4fc9d37b-b490-4edc-9dbc-7d81ea3b0d77-44323012106_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Friends Again", "track_id": "eb49e2ca-6753-4c4b-bfb5-062ae9794caa", "recording_id": "da1c326e-7768-401f-9a37-f9c2df03fb18", "artist": "Baby Rose feat.
