More about the Rubin Brothers: A.J. and Colescott Rubin are PDX-raised musicians, vaudevillian entertainers, and jazz clowns who make smiles wherever they go, performing swing, blues, & popular songs of yesteryear with a lighthearted energy and danceable beat. Now based in Boston, MA, they are student and staff, respectively, at Berklee College of Music. They have performed across the country and internationally, including in New Orleans, NYC, Iceland, Moscow, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, and have performed and/or recorded with Esperanza Spalding, John Legend, Patrice Rushen, Catherine Russell, Charmaine Neville, and others. Last year, they were given the Boston Opportunity Fund Award by the City of Boston to support their artistic careers.
