A jack of all trades, Copeland not only plays several instruments and sings sublimely, but his work and life spans a multitude of other areas, from being a transgender artist to being a playwright. Now 74, he has only recently been getting attention, after a Japanese collector rediscovered his music, namely the album <em>Keyboard Fantasies<\/em>, which was reissued on vinyl last year via <a href=\"https:\/\/invisiblecityeditions.com\/products\/beverly-glenn-copeland-keyboard-fantasies-ice-011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invisible City<\/a>. Mixing elements of folk, electronics and jazz, <em>Keyboard Fantasies<\/em> is a timeless album that sounded far ahead of its time when Copeland first self-released it in 1986.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next month and for the first time ever, Copeland will bring <em>Keyboard Fantasies<\/em> to Europe, accompanied by his band Indigo Rising, with a very special performance in store at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leguesswho.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Guess Who?<\/a>, curated by Devendra Banhart as well as Moor Mother.
