Colescott Rubin is a Boston-based award winning bassist/tubist/vocalist, vaudevillian entertainer, dancer, songwriter, and educator. He has performed in many countries, including Argentina, Spain, Iceland, Mexico, & Russia, and with Grammy-winning artists Esperanza Spalding, Patrice Rushen, Catherine Russell, and John Legend, among others. He’s currently on staff at Berklee College of Music, where he graduated on a Presidential Scholarship. His swing band “Colescott & His Red Hots” has the same name as his grandfather’s band from the 1940s, taking inspiration from his great-grandfather, a New Orleans musician who played with Louis Armstrong over 100 years ago. Aside from the Red Hots, he tours with his musical family variety act, The Rubin Brothers. He just auditioned for America’s Got Talent, and later this year is releasing his first three records, directing the 8 piece brass band for a major league sports team, and making his circus debut as a unicycling multi-instrumentalist.
