Gala Headliner: RH Factor Featuring Roger Humphries

Roger Humphries

Roger Humphrey’s profound connection to Pittsburgh’s North Side is the heartbeat of his career. It is woven into his music and reflected in his dedication to nurturing the next generation of local talent. Recognized globally, he was named an inaugural Jazz Legacies Fellow by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and has performed with music royalty, including Ray Charles.

Despite his international acclaim, Roger's heart remains in Pittsburgh. We’re privileged to host an evening filled with his signature hard-bop and soul-jazz rhythms—a true celebration of community, mentorship, and hometown pride.
