A carreira de Hartley começou como um substituto do baterista Ringo Starr para o Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, uma banda de Liverpool.
Consequentemente ele tocou e gravou com o The Artwoods e, posteriormente, atingindo grande notabilidade como baterista de John Mayall, antes de formar a "The Keef Hartley Band", banda que combinava elementos do jazz, do blues e do rock and roll dentro de um som de jazz-rock parecido com o Blood, Sweat, and Tears e Chicago. A "Keef Hartley Band" tocou no famoso Festival de Woodstock em 1969 e lançou quatro álbuns famosos, incluindo o Halfbreed e o The Battle of North West Six.
Em novembro de 1974, a UK music magazine (revista britânica de música), NME, afirmou que Hartley, que esteve inativo por longos anos, desde o fim de sua banda, no começo de 1972, formara uma nova banda chamada Dog Soldier. Eles gravam um álbum homônimo em 1975.
Em 2007, Hartley lançou uma autobiografia, "Halfbreed (A Rock and Roll Journey That Happened Against All The Odds)". Hartley escreveu sobre a sua vida, citando o seu crescimento em Preston, e falando também sobre a sua carreira como baterista e líder de banda. No livro fala também da aparição da "Keef Hartley Band" no famoso Festival de Woodstock em 1969.
Hartley morreu em 26 de Novembro de 2011, no Royal Preston Hospital, aos 67 anos. Texto: Wikipédia.
