Roger Harding (singer)

Roger Harding (1858 – August 29, 1901) was an American singer, composer and music publisher active in the United States from 1890 to 1901.

In June 1890, Harding performed in the musical play Billie Taylor in New York City as part of the Ideal Opera Company.

In March 1893, he played Nixey Weld in A Night at the Circus at the Harrigan's Park Theatre in New York.

Also in 1893 he joined the minstrel company of Sam Devere, author of "The Whistling Coon" made famous by George W.

In late 1898, Harding formed the Knickerbocker Music Publishing Company in New York with singer Steve Porter and pianist Fred Hylands, but the company was reformed as Hylands, Spencer and Yeager (with Len Spencer and Harry Yeager) in early 1899, apparently before any publishing commenced.

Sheet music cover for "Pretty Kitty Doyle", composed by Roger Harding, published by T.B. Harms in 1896.
