#MusiciansDay

What is #MusiciansDay?

In the age of social media, it has never been so easy and at the same time so incredibly difficult to get your music out there as an independent musician, let alone break into the music business.

#MusiciansDay is a bi-annual social media event taking place every last Thursday of March and September. It serves as a platform for independent musicians to celebrate and share their music in the Fediverse and beyond and to connect with other musicians, professionals and music enthusiasts.
