Can you promote in r/musicians?
/r/musicians is a community for anyone who loves making music. Whether you’re a pro, a weekend jammer, or just picking up your first instrument, this is the place to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with other musicians.

All genres, all skill levels—if you play, you belong here.
