Joe Keeley

Joe Keeley is a 24 year old singer songwriter and front man of <a href="spotify:artist:5pYM7jLyFrXbWiMuHHkZVr" data-name="The Joe Keeley Band">The Joe Keeley Band</a> . After being raised on classic country music and heavily influenced by his musician father, Joe left school at 17 to pursue a career in music and has been captivated by authentic alt-country Americana ever since. Joe has played in many bars around the country both playing independently and as a duo with his father (being known as ‘The Keeley’s’). He also earns his living busking and networking with many other people in the music industry, having collaborated with other musicians on social media platforms.


Having grown up being somewhat of a misfit with a stubborn passion for a very niche genre of music, writing songs that are authentic and from truth is very important to Joe. His music is very lyric driven, drawing on his own experiences along with the inspiration taken from his love of classic country songs creates a project which can be appreciated by music fans young and old. With fierce integrity and a strong reluctance to make anything that he doesn’t believe in, he is making bold moves in a very ‘headstrong’ way to keep country music alive and appreciated.


His debut album Headstrong was released in February 2019 and was a top 10 selling UK Country album.
