Somewhat similar to bands are family music groups. These were commercial business operations, commonly family businesses. One such group was "The Tribe of Asa". This was a wildly popular musician family, led by Asa Hutchinson, that toured the northern states during the Civil War. They inspired men and women across the Union with patriotic songs. The Tribe performed The "Battle Cry of Freedom" at Madison Square to an estimated crowd of 50,000. Oliver Dennett Hutchinson (1856-1940), also known as "Little Dennett," ws a popular boy singer and drummer in the group. He was eventually to lead the troupe.
