The Keef Hartley Band was a British rock and blues ensemble led by drummer and bandleader Keith "Keef" Hartley. Emerging from the UK's vibrant blues-rock scene, the group became known for their energetic live performances and powerful rhythm-driven sound, earning a memorable appearance at the legendary 1969 Woodstock Festival.
Throughout his career, Hartley collaborated with influential figures across the British blues and rock landscape, including stints with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Artwoods. His work as a bandleader and session musician helped shape the blues-rock movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, establishing him as a respected figure in UK rock music.
