Laughter In Summer (Dinked Edition #373)

Legendary singer, composer and transgender activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland today announces his new studio album, Laughter In Summer - a collaborative effort born from the love story between himself and eco-poet, activist and producer Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland.

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.

Laughter In Summer follows Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s highly acclaimed 2023 record The Ones Ahead, as well as the 2024 collaboration with Sam Smith on a new recording of his classic song “Ever New” for the Red Hot Org Transa compilation record.
