Send Teen on Tour!

This is my cousin, Martin Purtill (that's Mar-teen, not Mar-tin - just call him Teen). He is a musician. He has a gorgeous singing voice and mad skills as a guitarist and songwriter. The music that Teen and our cousin Josh Lippi played during my wedding ceremony is one of my favorite memories of the day - and there were a LOT of good memories to compete with. People still tell me they liked his version of "First Day of My Life" better than Bright Eyes' original. He's talented and fun and has a great big heart.
So why not help send him on tour?
Teen has partnered with Kickstarter to raise money for a tour beyond his current town of Sacramento, CA. Tours cost money, and - who knew? - musicians tend not to have buckets of that just sitting around. Teen's also got a beautiful little girl to help raise. So if you would like to toss an extra $1, $5, $10 or more into Teen's virtual guitar case, consider it money well spent. You're investing in a talented artist who is going after his dream and using his music to make the world a more beautiful place.
And when he's huge - like, really famous huge - you can turn to your friends every time his songs come on the radio and casually say, "Yeah, I was one of his early backers, before he got huge." Don't pass up on bragging rights. Help send Teen on tour!
