Derwin "D. Friday" Friday

Get ready for an unforgettable evening with D. Friday, professional saxophonist and national recording artist whose sound is rooted in soul, shaped by experience, and driven by a constant desire to create something new.

Friday's musical journey began at just twelve years old, growing from the rich sounds and traditions of the rural churches that first poured music into his heart and soul. Since then, he has spent years developing a style that is distinctly his own: expressive, soulful, sophisticated, and impossible to put into a single box.

Drawing inspiration from the powerful storytelling of James Baldwin, the musical brilliance of Stevie Wonder, and the timeless songwriting of James Taylor, Friday brings a remarkably diverse perspective to the stage. His performances move effortlessly through influences and emotions, pairing the unmistakable voice of the saxophone with creativity, energy, and genuine connection.
