Hutchinson Family

Hutchinson Family

U.S. singing group, significant figures in the development of a native popular music tradition. Born and raised in Milford, N.H., the Hutchinson brothers Judson (1817–59), John (1821–1908), and Asa (1823–84) and sister Abby (1829–92) formed a quartet and began giving concerts around New England in 1841. In contrast to the prevailing sentimental and minstrel songs of the period, their songs embraced political causes, including woman suffrage, prohibition of alcohol, and opposition to the Mexican War. They sang at many antislavery rallies, including a Boston rally that drew 20,000 people. With some members replaced by other family members, the family continued to tour into the 1880s.
