September 2, 2014 – Singer songwriter Trevor Hall is excited to announce that his “Small Is Beautiful" tour has
partnered with professional snowboarder Kevin Pearce’s “Love Your Brain” Foundation. “Love Your Brain” is helping

rehabilitation and overall brain health. Because of the foundation, brain injury survivors, like Kevin, are gaining
access to healing practices such as yoga and music. One hundred percent of proceeds from “Love Your Brain” t-shirts
sold at the “Small Is Beautiful” shows will go directly to the foundation. If you aren’t familiar with Kevin’s story,

Commenting on his “Small is Beautiful” tour Trevor states, “The 'Small Is Beautiful' tour is not simply about playing
music in smaller venues after a summer of playing big amphitheaters and expansive festival grounds. Rather, ‘Small
is beautiful’ is a message and a meditation – one that I feel so many of us need amidst all of the world’s chaos and
strife … ‘Small is beautiful’ is about realizing the beauty of simplicity and remembering that it is the simple things in
our lives that are truly the greatest gifts. It is about returning to the roots – of ourselves and our earth’s natural way
– about putting less emphasis on the material and more value on the spiritual. It is about supporting all things local,
living more sustainably, and lessening our desires and consumption while increasing our giving. It is about slowing
down and listening – to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. It is about recognizing the greatness in a
small act of kindness and remembering that the greatest trees grow from small seeds. ‘Small is beautiful’ reminds us
that we are all a part of one great village family, that we are all children of this earth, and that, to borrow the words
of Ghandi, in a gentle way we can shake the world.”
Trevor recently surprised his fans with the sudden release of his new 12-track album Chapter of the
Forest, a collection of songs born during a yearlong sabbatical when Trevor returned to his beloved India, Nepal,
Vermont, and Maine, and spent time in deep reflection.
“This album is inspired by simplicity, by the roots of life, and by the beauty that one finds in solitude and in
nature,” says Trevor.
Chapter of the Forest was released on June 17th and debuted at #3 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart and #17
on the iTunes Overall Albums chart.
