Virtually Famous: Beverly Glenn-Copeland

• Beverly Glenn-Copeland emergence in his mid-seventies should give hope to late bloomers everywhere.As with other musicians who were discovered late — Vashti Bunyan, Linda Perhacs and Sixto Rodriguez for example — the songs sound even more precious because they’re being heard so far from their creation. Glenn-Copeland, a trans man who has spent much of the past few decades writing music for children’s television such as Sesame Street, made a self-titled album of intricate, stunningly beautiful folk in 1970 and went on to experiment with ambient electronica on 1986’s Keyboard Fantasies.
