Beverly Glenn-Copeland is a singer and songwriter who was born in Philadelphia but has spent most of his life and career in Canada. He is a trans man known for his folk music that incorporates jazz, classical, and blues elements. With an extensive career, he has collaborated with various artists and even worked as a writer on Sesame Street. Additionally, Glenn-Copeland entertained children for twenty-five years on the Canadian television show Mr. Dressup. However, he gained significant recognition for his 1986 electronic album Keyboard Fantasies, which was rediscovered and celebrated in the 2010s.
Keyboard Fantasies was recorded using equipment such as a Yamaha DX7 and a Roland TR-707. This album received acclaim even before Glenn-Copeland's gender transition became public knowledge. In fact, it was selected as one of the 70 greatest recordings by women by The Stranger.
Discover Beverly Glenn-Copeland's unique blend of genres and captivating musical talent through his diverse discography that spans decades.

In 1970, nine years after leaving the United States to study music in Canada, Beverly Glenn-Copeland released two self-titled albums. Both were a stunning showcase of classical and jazz acumen, layered with poetry and accompanied by some of the best players of the time. Original pressings now fetch thousands of dollars. Glenn-Copeland then vanished as a recording artist until his re-emergence in 1986 with the release (just a few hundred copies on cassette) of what many now believe to be his masterpiece, Keyboard Fantasies. Marking the 35th anniversary, Transgressive reissues Keyboard Fantasies with updated artwork and liner notes by pop star, Robyn.
