Merseybeat

Merseybeat, a vibrant and infectious genre, emerged from the lively port city of Liverpool in the early 1960s, blending rock and roll, skiffle, and R&B into a fresh, energetic sound. Characterized by catchy melodies, tight harmonies, and a driving backbeat, it was popularized by iconic bands like The Beatles and Gerry and the Pacemakers. This genre not only captured the youthful exuberance of its time but also set the stage for the British Invasion, reshaping the global music landscape.
