Glenn-Copeland aka Beverly Glenn-Copeland, is a legendary Canadian/American singer, composer, and transgender activist, based in east coast Canada.
In the last year, Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s 5+ decades of works are finally getting the recognition and attention they deserve. Features in the New Yorker, New York Times, The Globe and Mail, a career retrospective and performance at MOMA PS1, a film documentary (Keyboard Fantasies), CBC’s In The Making and much more.
Through the efforts of his publisher, Montreal based Third Side Music, a FACTOR-funded company, this past year they were able to place his music in projects ranging from a Levi’s ad to a runway show at Paris Fashion Week. Third Side Music also set up and encouraged some key music supervisors to attend private livestream events and as a direct result his songs are featured in 4 different episodes of a new HBO series, and many more opportunities currently in the works. Third Side has also been working closely with Glenn’s new label home (Transgressive) on the roll out and re-issue of his whole catalog, sourcing remixes and cover versions, working with a queer choir organization to re-imagine his songs, a trip to Sackville to unearth hours worth of rare and unreleased material from tapes stored at his studio and much more. Glenn-Copeland is a Canadian songwriter success story that we’re so happy to be part of with Third Side Music.
