My KUTX: HAAM’s Reenie Collins
For almost two decades, the Health Alliance For Austin Musicians (HAAM) has helped fill a crucial gap in our ailing healthcare system. The organization provides affordable healthcare for Austin’s working musicians, who often are self-employed and cannot afford health insurance or doctor’s visits. Musicians deserve access to healthcare just as much as any other profession, and HAAM helps make sure of that.
Reenie Collins, the longtime CEO of HAAM, recently announced her retirement, making way for Paul Scott. Ahead of her retirement party at the Scoot Inn on December 14, we invited Reenie to share some music and memories as our guest DJ this week on My KUTX. Her playlist is full of her Austin favorites, and you can hear Reenie’s My KUTX on Saturday, Decemeber 4 at 6 p.m. or anytime in the player above.

My KUTX: Buffalo Nichols
Buffalo Nichols is the November 2021 Artist of the Month.
Austin’s Buffalo Nichols draws extensively from the American blues tradition on his self-titled debut. With his open-hearted songwriting and expressive guitar playing, he shows how these traditions can directly apply to a modern context. As our guest DJ this week on My KUTX, Nichols digs into his influences, which range from American folk styles to West African blues, French pop music, and cutting edge music from Ukraine. Hear Buffalo Nichols’ My KUTX on Saturday, November 27 at 6 p.m. or listen anytime in the player above.
