Derrick Ray Craver

About this event

I'm headed back to The Garage in Historic Downtown McKinney on Saturday, November 21, and I'd love for you to join me for another great evening of live music! Come unwind and enjoy a mix of Smooth Jazz, R&B, and a little Classic Rock, along with great food, cocktails, and good vibes! 🎸🎶 **Derrick Ray Craver** is a Dallas-based contemporary jazz bassist, composer, producer, and Recording Academy member known for his melodic bass playing and infectious blend of smooth jazz, funk, soul, and R&B. Influenced by artists including Wayman Tisdale, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, and Prince, Derrick creates original music filled with memorable melodies, soulful grooves, and positive energy.

His debut album, *Next Chapter*, and subsequent singles, *Reflections* and *Skies of Carolina*, showcase his distinctive contemporary jazz sound. As founder of Blackroom Productions, Derrick continues to write, record, and produce new music while performing regularly throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area. From laid-back smooth jazz to upbeat funk-inspired grooves, Derrick delivers engaging live performances that connect with audiences and keep the music flowing. **Experience the music.
