Rockabilly Club

A Place for Good Music

 

What can you expect to find at a rockabilly club?  Rockabilly music is loud with a heavy beat.  In a rockabilly club, you�ll probably find a live band made up of a gulping, stuttering lead singer (as this is the style of the singing in rockabilly music), a lead guitar, rhythm guitar, and upright bass, played in slap style.  During breaks, the speakers will pipe through favorites by rockabilly legends of past like Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly.

The people will be laid back and relaxed.  Men will be dressed in Daddy-O shirts or pastel colored shirts with collars.  Over their shirts they�ll be clad in baggy sport jackets, with the shirt collars worn over the jacket collar.  Slacks compliment the relaxed classiness of the ensemble, which is accented by creeper shoes in any color of the rainbow.

In rockabilly clubs, you may find women dressed in the classic style of the 1950�s.  This would include gingham blouses and straight skirts with peek toe heeled shoes.  Then again, you may find that they opt for a simpler look, wearing the capris, or pedal pushers, that were made popular by rockabilly women of the 50�s with Daddy-O style shirts that are tapered today for women�s figures.  They may even be wearing the modern creeper shoes that are styled for women today.

You may also notice a prevailing men�s hairstyle in a rockabilly club.  The favored �do is a pompadour style that is held in place with a lot of wax, like Brylcreem or Genuine B&W Pomade, which is rumored to have been the favorite hair product of both Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.  It holds the hair high and gives it a glossy shine.  Rockabilly clubs will be filled with people dancing and nursing beers, singing along to their favorite rockabilly tunes.  Everyone is welcome, and most people will have a great time at a rockabilly club!
