has been on the board of directors of the health services nonprofit SIMS Foundation for seven years, but it wasn’t until he performed at the 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas, where a gunman killed 59 people and injured another 800, that he realized just how crucial the organization could be.

Founded in the wake of Texas musician's 1995 suicide, for almost three decades the SIMS Foundation has taken care of Austin’s musicians, touring professionals and — unlike many similar nonprofits around the country — their family members by connecting them to free or discounted mental health services funded by government grants or private donors.
