Beverly Glenn-Copeland returns with Laughter In Summer, a deeply moving new album created alongside his wife and collaborator, Elizabeth. Written during Glenn’s journey with dementia, the record stands as both a love letter between them and a testament to resilience, memory, and devotion. Recorded at Montreal’s Hotel2Tango with producer Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Vic Chesnutt), the album captures performances in a single take, featuring contributions from a choir of Canadian and American voices including Helena Deland. Songs like “Let Us Dance (Movement Two)” and “Children’s Anthem” embody the spirit of collaboration, while pieces such as “Harbor” and “Middle Island Lament” draw from personal and ancestral histories. Laughter In Summer carries the same transformative power that made Keyboard Fantasies and Transmissions modern classics, offering music that uplifts, heals, and connects across generations. It is a vital release from a visionary artist whose creative voice only deepens with time.
