Kicking off live music at Fred’s for 2026, we’re delighted to welcome a solo performance from Joe Keeley — a rising star in the UK country music scene.
Blending outlaw country with Southern rock and Americana, Joe hails from Suffolk and was raised on classic country thanks to his musician father. He began touring and performing at just 17, quickly carving out a reputation for raw, authentic songwriting and powerful live shows.
Joe first emerged as a solo artist with his debut record Headstrong (2019), which reached the Top 10 UK Country Albums chart. He later formed The Joe Keeley Band with fellow Suffolk musicians, delivering a high-energy alt-country rock sound. Their debut album Blackwood hit No.1 in the UK Country Charts, followed by festival appearances at Maverick, Buckle & Boots, the British Country Music Awards, NashDown, and a headline UK tour in 2023.
The band’s latest EP Burial Ground continues their storytelling tradition with hard-hitting tracks and heartfelt ballads, while recent single Black Label Lady marks their first studio release since 2022.
Influenced by legends such as Steve Earle, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, Joe’s music is lyric-driven, gritty and emotionally honest. If you love authentic country with a rock edge, this is a live show not to miss.
