Stand by Chris Gage: Austin's Beloved Maestro

Help Support Chris Gage – The Iron Man of South Austin

For nearly three decades, Chris Gage has been the heartbeat of Monday nights at Donn’s Depot — a maestro of music, a pillar of joy, and a friend to so many in South Austin and beyond. Whether tickling the ivories or lifting spirits with his unmistakable voice and warmth, Chris has given our community a lifetime of music and magic.

Now, it’s our turn to give back.

Chris is facing an incredibly difficult and uncertain journey with his health — one that no amount of strength, spirit, or song can face alone. While his courage remains unshaken, the reality of this chapter brings with it significant and unforeseen costs: daily living expenses, medical needs not covered by insurance, and the burden of what lies ahead.

This fundraiser is a humble call to those who have danced, laughed, cried, and loved through the music Chris has shared. Every donation will go directly to help ease the financial strain of this journey — allowing Chris, his wife, Christine and his loved ones to focus on comfort, care, and precious time together.

If Chris has ever brought a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, or a song to your soul, we ask you to consider joining us in supporting him now.

With love and deepest gratitude,

Friends and Family of Chris Gage
