Biography

Walter Everett is a noted music theorist and author, recognized for his significant contributions to the study of rock music. He authored the two-volume study 'Beatles Musicians' and 'Foundations Rock,' and co-authored 'Tim Riley Goes Beatles' published by Oxford University Press. His video presentations on Beatles-based analyses cover guitar, piano, drums, bass, and vocals, supported by over 400 audio-visual resources he created, which are hosted on the Oxford website. His volume on the Beatles was translated into Spanish as 'Los Beatles como músicos'. Furthermore, he edited the essay collection 'Expression in Pop-Rock Music' for Routledge and co-edited volumes with John Covach in 'Contemporary Music Review'. Currently, he is co-authoring a book with Katie Kapurch tentatively titled 'Sex, Gender, Rock, and Pop Music: The Beatles and Beyoncé' with Bloomsbury Press. Everett's academic work includes over thirty book chapters and peer-reviewed articles in various journals, exploring topics within rock music and addressing analytical and theoretical questions regarding eighteenth and nineteenth-century song and opera. He is also a contributor to the 'Grove Dictionary of American Music', providing fifty popular-music examples for Miguel Roig-Francoli’s textbook 'Harmony in Context'.
