Colin Huggins (born January 6, 1978) is an American classical pianist and street performer in New York City.
A visit to Boston led Huggins to develop an interest in performing piano in a professional capacity for ballet.
[7][8] Huggins noted the historical connection that Washington Square Arch has to pianists, citing Ignacy Jan Paderewski's sponsorship of its construction in 1892.
[3] In 2018, Huggins raised $30,000 on Kickstarter to purchase a 900-pound 1958 Steinway B grand piano that The New York Times described as "the majestic lure that helps draw audiences to him.
His pianos bear an inscription reading "this machine kills fascists", inspired by a sticker that Woody Guthrie placed on his guitar during World War II that bore the same message.
