Genre:

Skiffle

Skiffle is a genre of folk music influenced by American folk, blues, country, bluegrass, and jazz, typically performed with a mix of manufactured and homemade instruments. Originating in the US in the early 20th century, it gained immense popularity in the UK in the 1950s with artists like Lonnie Donegan. Skiffle played a key role in the early careers of future jazz, pop, blues, folk, and rock stars, including members of the Quarrymen (later the Beatles) and Rory Gallagher. It served as a crucial stepping stone to the British folk revival, blues boom, and the British Invasion of American music.
