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.
Throughout all the transitions, HAAM members continued to receive expert care from our
outstanding affiliate service providers: the Seton Healthcare Family (primary health care), the St.
David’s Foundation in partnership with the Capital Area Dental Foundation (dental health), the SIMS
Foundation (mental health), Estes Audiology (hearing care), Prevent Blindness Texas (vision care) and
Whole Foods (wellness/nutrition). We are extremely grateful to each of these service providers and look
forward to many more years of collaboration with them.
As the chairman of the HAAM board, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my fellow
board members. We have one of the strongest boards in this community and are very blessed to have
such strong leadership and support. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Liz Watson as
she rolls off the board. Liz is a strong advocate for Austin’s musicians and we deeply appreciate her
service to HAAM. Finally, thank you to the HAAM staff and the army of HAAMbassadors who work so
hard to help raise the funds that support the work we do.
I am so proud to be associated with HAAM and look forward to the year ahead. I have no doubt that
HAAM will continue to adapt to meet any and all of the challenges that may lay ahead.
Sincerely,
Chris Adams

LOVES sharing stories about the difference you are making in the lives
of Austin’s musicians through your donations and support.

“At a time like this
when everyone
is struggling with
health care, Austin
is ahead of the
game. I wish that
every town had
a HAAM.”

IN LOVE WITH HAAM…AND EACH OTHER
HAAM members and musical legends, Lorrie Singer and
Bradley Kopp have played music all over the world, but are
proud to call Austin home. The couple joined HAAM in the
early days of the program and have been loyal members
and supporters ever since.
Clinic in East Austin. “I really think Seton lives up to its
mission statement,” Lorrie said. “Everything is built on their
commitment to offer the best, most compassionate care
possible to anyone and everyone. Dr. Buttrey genuinely
cares and gives everyone the time they need.”
Bradley credits HAAM with helping save his life and
keeping his family from financial bankruptcy. In 2009,
following a colonoscopy screening (ordered by his Seton
doctor through HAAM), Bradley was diagnosed with stage
2 colon cancer. “HAAM helped me get the operation I
needed and the necessary radiation and chemotherapy
from some really remarkable Seton doctors,” said Bradley,
who is now cancer-free. When Lorrie needed knee
surgery, HAAM was there to help. “I received excellent
care from Seton that I could never have afforded without
HAAM,” she explained.
Lorrie and Bradley continue to write and perform together
and understand the many challenges faced by working
musicians. “It’s a hard life, but a rewarding life,” said Lorrie
who also does studio work and voiceovers. Bradley, a
lead guitarist who has toured with musical icons such as
Alejandro Escovedo and Jimmy Dale Gilmore, is also a
recording engineer and record producer.
Lorrie and Bradley are both long-standing patients
(and huge fans!) of Dr. Sara Buttrey, a general practice
physician with the Seton McCarthy Community Health

“We live in a city that is enhanced by a vibrant music
culture, but because of economic realities, that culture
needs support to maintain and grow. If people don’t
support programs like HAAM, they will go away,” Bradley
said.

“HAAM sends a clear message
that Austin is a community that
CARES about musicians.”

THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC
HAAM member and jazz guitarist Margaret Slovak has
lived all over the country, but Austin stands out among
the pack. “Of all the cities I have lived in, Austin is the only
one that offers such comprehensive support for musicians.
Medical, dental, vision, hearing, mental health – HAAM has
got it all,” she said.
When Margaret moved to Austin in 2012 after ten years
living and performing in New York City, she joined HAAM,
mostly for the dental benefits. “HAAM has really been a
blessing to me,” said Margaret, who has received care from
Capital Area Dental Foundation dentist, Dr. Neal Shah. “I
couldn’t afford dental care without it.”
Another blessing came in the form of a workshop that
HAAM organized last year on the Affordable Care Act
(ACA). Margaret attended the workshop and was
connected to a program that helped her navigate the ACA
www.myhaam.org

and find a health plan that suited her needs. “The HAAM
workshop was really helpful. I ended up finding a great,
affordable plan and have HAAM to thank for pointing me
in the right direction.”
Although a relative newcomer to the Austin music scene,
HAAM has helped Margaret connect with other musicians
and find new opportunities to share her music. In addition
to teaching and composing, Margaret plays at area
senior centers, memory care units, hospices and other
venues. Every Monday, she plays for patients undergoing
chemotherapy at Texas Oncology.
“It is amazing to have this program for musicians that
makes everyone feel like they are not alone. I don’t feel
like one little person trying to make a living as a musician.
I feel like I am part of a greater community. “

HAAM BENEFIT
DAY: A MUTUAL
LOVE FEST.
Courtney Sanchez and Glenn Rexach at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on HAAM Benefit Day 2013
The eighth annual HAAM Benefit Day was presented by Whole Foods Market
on Tuesday, September 24, 2013. The citywide celebration of live music and the
local musicians that make Austin the Live Music Capital of the World raised a
record-breaking $361,000 for HAAM’s mission of providing affordable access to
health care for uninsured, low-income musicians.
The day featured 200 live performances by local bands across the city in locations
ranging from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to clubs, restaurants, yoga
studios, banks, office buildings and retail shops.
The day culminated with the first annual ALL ATX–The Concert at ACL Live featuring
an all-star lineup of musicians, including Christopher Cross, Eric Johnson, Jimmie
Vaughan, Suzanna Choffel, Monte Montgomery, Charlie and Will Sexton and many
more. The brainchild of local realtor and music benefactor, Gary Keller and Grammywinning producer, Randy Miller, All ATX brought together Austin’s talented musicians
to support HAAM’s mission.
HOW IT WORKS
On HAAM Benefit Day, area
businesses pledge five percent
of the days’ proceeds or make
a cash donation. In 2013,
more than 289 businesses
participated in the fundraiser.
Local music lovers can support
HAAM on HAAM Benefit Day
by dining and shopping at
these local establishments.
Thank you to the entire community for making HAAM Benefit Day 2013 such a
tremendous success. Thank you to event chair Keith Donahoe and to Christine
Thompson with AMFM Studios for producing this year’s public service announcement
featuring musicians, Marcia Ball, Erin Ivey, Kevin Russell (Shinyribs), Carlos Sosa and

CHASING
DREAMS IN
AUSTIN
After playing clubs for a few years in
her hometown of Cleveland, vocalist
and songwriter Britny Lobas packed
up her car and drove to Austin. “I
wanted to chase my musical dreams
and decided I needed to go to either
Nashville or Austin,” she said. “I was
scared to leave home, but am so
happy I did.” And so is Austin. The
high-caliber music talent that is
drawn to Austin is in part driven by
the tremendous support musicians
like Britny receive from organizations
like HAAM.
When Britny arrived in town, she
was quickly embraced by Austin’s
supportive community of musicians.
She formed a band called Britny Lobas
& Red Coral where she learned about
HAAM from two of her bandmates.
“I didn’t think something that cool
could exist,” Britny recalled. “My dad
was a professional musician who played
five nights a week, but he never had
anything like HAAM.”
When Austin’s infamous allergies stole
Britny’s voice, she used HAAM to get a
steroid shot at a Seton clinic. “Before
HAAM, I’d be worrying about whether
I could afford to go to the doctor or if
I needed to cancel a show,” she said.
“With HAAM, I was able to see my
doctor and perform that same night.”
Britny has also used HAAM for an
annual vision screening and free pair
of glasses. She hasn’t used her dental
or hearing benefits yet, but plans to
get new earplugs soon to protect her
hearing. “Just knowing that I can go
to the dentist or get new ear molds
without spending a week’s pay makes
me feel safe. It helps me focus on
being an artist and making a living.”

“Musicians do not bring in that much money.
We can work six nights in a row, but still not make
rent. When you donate to HAAM, you
are
feeding Austin’s soul and helping
musicians play the music that we all
LOVE.”

ONE BIG HEALTHY FAMILY
East Cameron Folkcore is an 11-member band that prides itself on making a lot of
noise. The band was formed in 2009 following a tragic fire that took the life of fellow
musician and close friend, Jon Pettis. “East Cameron Folkcore is the phoenix that
arose out of the ashes to pay tribute to our friend,” said lead vocalist and guitarist,
Jesse Moore.
Several members of East Cameron Folkcore have access to affordable health care
through HAAM. Vocalist Allen Dennard credits HAAM and affiliate provider, The SIMS
Foundation, for helping him get sober. “I was stumbling into all kinds of trouble,” Allen
said. “I entered treatment when I found out I was going to be a father. That was my
breaking point.”
HAAM provided Allen access to an affordable psychiatric evaluation and
prescriptions for antidepressants. “HAAM gave me access to resources that I did not
know were available to me. Without HAAM, I know for certain that I would not have
access to health care. I just can’t afford it,” Allen said.
Vocalist and harmonica player, Blue Mongeon credits HAAM for saving his life.
Following a bad fall, Blue needed emergency surgery to stop bleeding in his brain. “I
am alive today because of HAAM,” he said. Blue, who has played music since he was
six years old, is grateful for all the doctors and nurses who cared for him at Seton.
Jesse Moore was a member of HAAM before enrolling in a low-cost plan through the
Affordable Care Act (ACA). “I went to the HAAM office and they walked me through
the process. But there are a lot of musicians out there that live below the cut-off line
for the ACA and still need HAAM,” Jesse said.
Like many Austin musicians, members of East Cameron Folkcore work one or more
other jobs to pay the bills. Most of these jobs do not provide health benefits. HAAM
makes it possible for this uniquely Austin band to record albums and tour together—
all while staying strong and healthy.
www.myhaam.org
“East Cameron
Folkcore is a big
family. We play
music because
we LOVE to do it.
That can be really
difficult in today’s
world. HAAM
makes it possible
to have the day
jobs that we have
and still play music
and go on tour.”

CO R P O R AT E
BATTLE OF THE BANDS
2013 CBOB Grand Prize winner, The Slakes, presented by HomeAway at Antone’s
On April 26, 2013 some of Austin’s most unlikely
musicians, including doctors, accountants and software
engineers, took the stage at Antone’s on Riverside
Drive to raise funds for HAAM. The blockbuster event
raised nearly $74,000 to expand access to affordable
health care for Austin’s low-income musicians.
Sponsored by H-E-B and Cirrus Logic, the Corporate
Battle of the Bands featured eight bands that
showcased the musical talents of eight company’s
full-time employees. The corporate sponsors and their
competing bands included:
Cirrus Logic, Superhet
H-E-B, Knuckle Sammich
CLEAResult, Gigawatt
HomeAway, The Slakes
Intel Corporation, Atomic Large Band
St. David’s Foundation, The Healers
Seton Healthcare Family, Both Feet
Wenzel Spine, Gascans
The eight bands were judged by a panel of celebrity
judges including Kathy Valentine of the GoGos, rock
and roll hall of famer Ian McLagan and KVUE Anchor
Quita Culpepper.
The Slakes, from Homeaway, took the grand
prize, walking away with a day of recording time
compliments of Austin’s Bismeaux Studio and four
three-day passes to the ACL Festival. Other winners
included best cover band, Atomic Large Band from
Intel, best original band, Knuckle Sammich from H-E-B
and fan favorite, Superhet from Cirrus Logic.
Thank you to all the bands and the fans. Thank you
to our sponsors, H-E-B and Cirrus Logic and to
Bismeaux Studio, C-3 Presents and Strait Music for
donating prizes for our winners. HAAM also wishes
to thank the Corporate Battle for the Bands 2013
committee: Angela Dorsey (Chair), Jo-Dee Benson,
Laurie Garrant and Dee Dee Dial.

WE LOVE OUR AFFILIATE SERVICE PROVIDERS
HAAM is a unique collaboration that partners with some of the most innovative
health care organizations in the city to develop a package of health care services
available to each and every one of our HAAM members.
A LITTLE HISTORY
In the beginning, HAAM was
conceived as a three-legged
stool with the Seton Healthcare
Family delivering primary health
care, the St. David’s Foundation
handling dental care and The SIMS
Foundation providing mental
health and substance abuse
counseling. Thanks to generous
donors like YOU, HAAM has been
able to expand into a sturdy
table complete with hearing care
through Estes Audiology, vision
care through Prevent Blindness
Texas and wellness and nutritional
counseling provided by Whole
Foods Market.
As HAAM moves into the future,
we will continue to be flexible,
nimble and responsive to the
needs of our members.
HAAM knows that just like with music, one size
does not fit all when it comes to health care. Our
dedicated staff love working with each of our
musicians so that they find the best resources
available for their individual needs. Here’s what a
few of our member-musicians have told us about
our affiliate service providers:
“Getting real, useful hearing protection that I can use at any
gig puts at ease a life-long concern I have had for preserving
one of my most precious assets. I cannot thank HAAM and Estes
Audiology enough. Your support is priceless to me.”
“My SIMS Foundation services have been an important part of
my life. I am making excellent progress with the SIMS staff and feel
grateful for having HAAM in my life.”
“If it wasn’t for HAAM and Seton I would not be playing music
anymore. I have a genetic spinal condition that left me without the
use of my legs last summer. After surgery and rehab, I am able to
walk again with the support of HAAM and its amazing donors.”
“I can’t put into words how good the HAAM St. David’s Dental
Program has been for my life, my teeth, and my whole band,
all five of us included. After a dental emergency I couldn’t sing with my
front tooth missing, but my dentist had me back on stage singing two
days later.”

SHARE THE LOVE
Here in Austin, we love our live music.
We love that over 8,000 working musicians call Austin home and that the
music they create pumps more than $2 billion into our local economy.
But did you know that most of these musicians work multiple jobs and struggle
to pay for basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter?
That’s where HAAM comes in. With your generous and loyal support, HAAM
is able to connect thousands of low-income musicians with cost-effective
medical, dental, hearing, vision and mental health care services that focus on
prevention and wellness.
Your donations make it possible for Austin’s low-income, uninsured musicians
to access the affordable health care services they need to keep making the
music that we all love.
Spread the love to Austin’s hard working musicians and make a donation
to HAAM today. You can feel good about your donation. For every dollar
you donate to HAAM, we are able to leverage $7 in direct health care services
for our member-musicians through the donated care provided by our affiliate
service providers.
For more information on how you can help keep music alive and well in Austin,
visit our website at www.myhaam.org. Or, if you are a muciscian or know a
musician who would benefit from HAAM, please contact us at (512) 322-5177 to
see if we can help.
They say love is the universal language.
SO IS MUSIC.
