Keeping music in Austin alive and well

About us

We provide access to affordable health care for Austin's low-income, uninsured working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. Many Austin musicians are self-employed and have no access to health insurance or basic health care. They often work multiple jobs and struggle to pay for food, clothing and shelter, with nothing left for health care. That's where we come in. By resolving challenges such as long-neglected teeth to hearing loss, heart problems and depression, HAAM and its partners improve and save musicians' health and lives and enhance Austin's economy and quality of life. Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World, and we aim to keep it that way.

  • On September 24th, Central Texas local businesses, organizations, and venues will be hosting live music in celebration of what is best about our city—its musicians—in an effort to raise much-needed funding for the musicians the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) serves. In addition, many local restaurants and retail outlets will be participating by donating 5% (or more) of their daily sales back to HAAM. Time and cost will vary by location.

  • Let's face it, Austin without music is like a taco without salsa – it just doesn't work. This town breathes tunes, from dive bars to massive festivals. But here's the thing: behind every killer riff and smoky vocal, there's a real person who needs to stay healthy to keep the show going. That's why getting behind an organization like the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) is so important. How can you support our mission? Mark your calendar for HAAM Day on September 24th! HAAM Day is one of Austin’s most iconic celebrations of community and live music, raising awareness and critical funds for HAAM. We will be offering more than 250 FREE live music performances all over town! Special thanks to local musicians, Natalie Price, Sean Maddox, Sarah Sharp, César Valencia, Miggy Milla, DJ Shani, Kelsi Creek, Zack Morgan, Thelonius Love, and Graham Wilkinson, for sharing what music means to them! Let us know what music means to YOU in the comments for a chance to be featured throughout HAAM Day!

  • Would you like to bring live music to your office or place of business on HAAM Day, September 24th? 🎸 With a donation of $2,500 or more, we will bring the music to your office! Wondering what that could look like? Many of our partners use this day as a day to celebrate their employees: maybe a fun lunchtime performance or a happy hour to finish off the day. Equally as awesome, you can use HAAM Day as a way to celebrate your customers or clients by inviting them to your business to enjoy some tunes! 🤘 Community Supporters (i.e. coffee shops, restaurants, music venues, bars, or a place that services people,) ARE HAAM Day! New this year, if your business can commit to a month-long HAAM Day campaign in September with a pledge of $1000, HAAM will program music for you on HAAM Day! Community Supporters help spread the word of HAAM far and wide and are pivotal to the success of the day! You'll also be included on our website, on our (NEW!) interactive HAAM Day map, and will receive recognition in our HAAM Day insert in the Austin Chronicle. Support from the Austin business community and music lovers like YOU is essential to keeping music in Austin alive and well.

  • Today, as part of its continued commitment to the Austin music community, the PNC Foundation announced a three-year, year-round partnership with the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM). The renewed sponsorship with HAAM will make the PNC Foundation the organization’s exclusive financial education partner and the co-lead supporter of HAAM Day, Austin’s biggest fundraising event supporting local musicians. HAAM provides a lifeline to Austin musicians, and since 2005, has helped its members access $191 million in healthcare services, ranging from primary and specialty care, dental, vision, hearing, mental health, basic needs and other services. Support from the PNC Foundation will allow HAAM to provide comprehensive healthcare to ensure Austin's vibrant tradition of live music continues to be a cultural and economic driver for the community. 75% of HAAM musicians make less than $30,000 a year. PNC's support, along with additional philanthropic dollars, will help HAAM serve more than 3,000 clients annually.
