Kelly Willis and Bruce Robinson perform outside the Four Seasons as part of a KUTX sponsored show on HAAM Day in 2019."I don't remember any of it," the Austin musician who goes by San Gabriel said."I woke up and had an oxygen mask on my face."
He got help from the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, or HAAM, a nonprofit that subsidizes health insurance plans for musicians so they can access emergency, primary and specialty care. ”The compensation is not so great when it comes to getting paid for a gig,” said Paul Scott, HAAM’s CEO. “That's why we feel like it's so critical that we take some of this burden off our musicians when it comes to accessing medical care.”
