The Hutchinson Singers
The Hutchinson singers were a family of musicians in New Hampshire. They originally performed covers of popular folk and theater songs, but then eventually started writing their own material including songs supporting the abolitionists, the temperance movement, and women’s suffrage, They performed all over the US - including Salem - and one of the siblings owned a house in Lynn (High on the Rock). Most notably, the Hutchinson Singers performed at the Women’s suffrage rally in Salem, MA 1883, where they sang several of their original protest songs including Get off the Track.
