ACOUSTIC BLENDER is an alternative folk group consisting of Hope Wesley
Harrison, Justin Solonynka, and David & Jenny Heitler-Klevans (otherwise
known as Two of A Kind). All
the members of Acoustic Blender sing, and their vocal harmonies and arrangements
are the centerpiece of the group. Acoustic Blender’s repertoire is eclectic,
with themes ranging from the personal to the political, the ridiculous to the
sublime. Along with numerous originals, the group covers songs by The Beatles,
Patty Larkin, Jackson Browne, Mary Chapin Carpenter, the Roches and the Dixie
Chicks. Songs about peace, justice and endangered species are found alongside
ones about llamas and lime jello. Otto Bost, host of “Acoustic Eclectic” on
WDIY-FM says: “[Acoustic Blender is] a group of four uniquely talented musicians
who sing intelligent, witty, and uplifting songs.”
