The Hard Times were an American folk rock band formed in San Diego, California, in 1965. Combining elements of folk, sunshine pop, and light psychedelic pop, the group became a well-attended attraction on the Sunset Strip as house band to music venues such as the Whisky a Go Go. They managed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 with a cover version of Allen Toussaint's song "Fortune Teller" in 1966.
