Beverly Glenn-Copeland – The Ones Ahead

Description

In the tumult of this world, there are constants. People need each other. Every motion brushes against others, moving. None of us are siloed and none of us are still. The music of Beverly Glenn-Copeland drinks deeply from these truths. For decades, the Philadelphia-born, Canada-based singer-songwriter, and composer has drawn myriad musical practices toward a single, luminous conviction: that music can shake us loose from what closes us off from each other. His multifaceted body of work surrenders to the beauty, pain, and great capacity for healing that courses through life; in its unguarded sincerity, it invites you to share in its courage. Glenn-Copeland’s 2023 album, ‘The Ones Ahead’ – his first collection of new music in nearly two decades deepens these explorations, casting searching light into how all of us must dissolve the harms of this world and carry each other forward into the next.
