Poor Gal: An Evening of American Music History and Live Folk Music

October 29 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDT

Huxley & Hiro and the Delaware Historical Society welcome you for an evening of folk music and history with ethnomusicologist Dan Gutstein. His new book “Poor Gal: The Cultural History of Little Liza Jane” (available in store at Huxley & Hiro) chronicles the origins and evolution of a folk tune beloved by millions worldwide.

Dan Gutstein delves into the trajectory of the “Liza Jane” family of songs, including the most popular variant “Li’l Liza Jane.” Likely originating among enslaved people on southern plantations, the songs are still performed and recorded centuries later.
