Music For Grown Ups
Two of a Kind is the husband-wife duo of David & Jenny Heitler-Klevans. Best known for their music for children and families, David & Jenny bring a similarly eclectic repertoire and engaging manner to “grown-up” audiences. Their harmonies blend seamlessly, with David’s dynamic guitar work and Jenny’s varied use of percussion resulting in a compelling performance. Picking songs that are both personal and political, they bring their audiences humor and thoughtful contemplation. David & Jenny do their own well-crafted songs as well as songs by the likes of Greg Brown, Melanie DeMore, Dido, John Prine, Peggy Seeger and Tom Waits. They released Lead With Love in 2018, and Let the Light In in 2024. Two of a Kind’s combination of original songs and well-chosen covers will touch your heart, tickle your funny bone, and give you hope in these difficult times.
Two of a Kind performs for adults at concert series, festivals, coffeehouses, libraries, house concerts, senior centers and special events. Two of a Kind has shared the stage with artists such as Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary, Charlie King, Pat Humphries, disappear fear and Kim & Reggie Harris.

Many of these songs were written during the pandemic, and a few deal with that challenging time. There’s lots of social justice material here, including songs about January 6, LGBTQI+ pride, civility, climate change, anti-racism, and songs from their musical Hidden. Personal themes are also represented, particularly relating to time, aging and stages of life. Many wonderful vocalists & instrumentalists contributed their talents to this recording. Overall, these songs provide hope in hard times.

Lead With Love is our first “grown-up” CD since 1992. The CD includes mostly original songs, plus covers (Melanie DeMore, Dido, John Prine, Peggy Seeger) and collaborations with other songwriters. The songs range from personal to political, with an emphasis on songs of resistance and resilience in the face of the current political landscape. We are joined by our sons Ari & Jason as well as our alternative folk quartet Acoustic Blender, plus an excellent band of instrumentalists.
