  • Haam Annual Report 2013
    PHOTO BY BRENDA LADD PHOTOGRAPHY HAAM ANNUAL REPORT 2013 www.myhaam.org Dear Friends of HAAM: The year 2013 brought many changes to the health care landscape in our nation, our community and to the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM). But through it all, HAAM’s core values and mission remained rock solid. We love Austin. We love live music. And we love what HAAM does for Austin’s musicians. Two major changes affected HAAM in 2013. First, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) began to take effect—opening new doors for many HAAM members to obtain health insurance. Although some people thought that the ACA might reduce the need for HAAM, nothing could be further from the truth. Because Texas did not follow many other states and expand its Medicaid eligibility, more than 60% of current HAAM members still need HAAM to access affordable health care. Additionally, the ACA does not usually provide the dental, vision, hearing and other health care services that are currently available to HAAM members. The second major change for HAAM in 2013 was the departure of our much loved, longtime executive director, Carolyn Schwarz, who deftly guided the organization for eight years. We wish her well and welcome Reenie Collins to our team as executive director. A native Austinite with deep roots in the health care and non-profit community, Reenie is passionate about HAAM and its mission. Reenie has a long-standing history with the HAAM family and actually worked as a health care consultant to our founder Robin Shivers in 2005 when HAAM was being formed.

  • 8 Must-Visit American Record Stores (Travel Channel, 2017)
    Source: http://www.travelchannel.com/roam­blog/food­culture/eight­essential­record­stores­in­the­u­s 8 Must­Visit American Record Stores Check out these vinyl meccas for LP connoisseurs. JEFF STAFFORD TAGS ARTS AND CULTURE The record industry seemed headed for oblivion in the early Nineties and then something unexpected happened. A whole new generation of music lovers created a vinyl renaissance that continues to grow at a surprising rate. According to a recent Forbes magazine article, vinyl record sales are projected to earn close to one billion dollars for the first time this century. www.amoeba.com Streaming music services may have their converts but collectors of vinyl prefer the tactile sensation of holding an album, putting it on the turntable, studying the cover and liner notes and listening to the unmistakable sound of an authentic vinyl recording, imperfections and all. Another part of the appeal for vinyl fans is hunting for rare LPs or long­desired acquisitions in stores where the employees are more likely to be self­taught musicologists who can advise and aid them in their audio explorations. Here is just a small sampling of some of the most beloved vinyl meccas in the U.S. from coast to coast. Amoeba Music, Los Angeles, California www.amoeba.com The gold standard among independent music chains, Amoeba opened its first store in Berkeley, California in 1990, added a second store in San Francisco in 1997 and followed that with a third outlet in Los Angeles in 2001. A one­stop destination for buying CDs, DVDs, Blu­Rays and especially used and new vinyl, Amoeba can be an overwhelming experience due to the sheer volume of pop culture on display.

Easy to get to (only seven and a half miles from the Austin Convention Center), the airport saw an all-time passenger record of nearly 11.9 million passengers in 2015, up 11% from 2014. In operation since 1999, the airport has roughly 300 daily flights with nonstop service to 45+ destinations including international flights to London, Cancun, Guadalajara, San Jose Del Cabo and Toronto, and seasonal summer flights to Frankfurt, Germany. Austin is one of only seven airports with year-round service to all United Airlines hubs. Live music has been a distinguishing feature of the airport since its Music in the Air program launched in June 1999, just one month after the airport opened. What started as two performances per week has grown to 23 shows per week in six different venues throughout the airport: Ray Benson’s Roadhouse, the Saxon Pub, Annie’s Café & Bar, Earl Campbell’s Sports Bar, Austin City Limits/Waterloo Records & Video, and Ruta Maya. ABIA participates in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Pre-Check and Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry program. Construction begins in 2016 on a nine-gate terminal expansion. ABIA reported 1,190 live music performances, 65.5 tons of brisket and 693,375 breakfast tacos were enjoyed by its passengers in 2015. ABIA ranked third among airports in North America for Airport Service Quality (ASQ) in 2015.

  • Annual Impact Report
    HEALTH ALLIANCE FOR AUSTIN MUSICIANS annual impact report 2017-2018 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Friends of HAAM: In spite of having no musical talent, both of my parents had a strong appreciation for music and weekends growing up included a steady stream of vinyl. While my father leaned more towards traditional country music, my mother paid attention to the sounds coming from my hometown’s biggest neighbor, Austin. In the late 70’s that meant Willie, Jerry Jeff and Townes. My mom was always quick to point out when an Austin musician was playing on the radio and at an early age, I became aware of the quality of musicians living and playing only 30 miles away. During college in Lubbock, I was introduced to the likes of Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and the Maines Brothers, but my passion for “live music” started when I returned to Austin. I was truly stunned at the quality of musicians playing small Austin clubs on random evenings. Maybe I was lucky that my first show was Charlie & Will Sexton at the Continental Club, but either way, I was hooked. Like most music lovers, I simply cannot imagine Austin without live music. But the truth is that most of the musicians who make the music we all love, barely earn enough to pay their bills. Because our members are so passionate about their music, they do whatever it takes to make ends meet and keep playing. Unfortunately, getting sick or injured without access to healthcare coverage can be detrimental to their careers, and their mental and financial stability.
