Pitch a club music style (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rockabilly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'music style' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'pitch a club' is the wordplay.
'pitch' becomes 'rock' (rock is a kind of pitch).
'club' becomes 'billy' (billy is a kind of club).
'rock'+'a'+'billy'='ROCKABILLY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rockabilly that I've seen before include "Type of music" , "notes of the 1950s" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
