🎵 Build Your Network. Build Your Career.
Whether you're a songwriter, performer, producer, music educator, venue professional, industry executive, or passionate supporter of Austin music, Night Shift is where relationships turn into opportunities.

Space is limited, and these events fill up quickly.

The Austin Texas Musicians Fund (ATXM) is the foundational nonprofit dedicated to advocacy, education, and economic development for Austin’s musicians and venues.

Night Shift is one of the ways we bring the community together — building connections that strengthen the local music ecosystem. Learn more about our advocacy, education, and economic development work at .

💙 Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM)
ATXM and Health Alliance for Austin Musicians have worked together to support Central Texas musicians since 2018. While HAAM helps musicians access affordable healthcare and wellness resources, ATXM focuses on advocacy, education, and economic development. Together, we help strengthen the overall support system that allows Austin musicians to live, work, and thrive.

🧠 SIMS Foundation
ATXM is proud to partner with SIMS Foundation, a longtime champion of mental health and recovery services for Austin's music community. Through years of collaboration and a shared commitment to musicians' well-being, our organizations work to ensure artists have access to the resources, support, and care they need both on and off the stage.
