Cuby & The Blizzards is relatively unknown to the English-speaking market but nonetheless the band has been famous in The Netherlands since the mid-60's. The early work of Cuby & The Blizzards had a Beat/Punk orientation but soon they settled into a Blues groove. Before the band recorded their own work they backed Van Morrison in the gap between his departure from Them and the beginning of his solo career.

By the time of their first LP Desolation (1966), the group were already sliding toward a straighter Blues outlook than had been explored on their more R&B/Pop-flavored early singles.

Harry Muskee, founder and lead singer, sadly passed away in September 2011. Muskee has sent us his last greetings, saying in one of his final songs: 'Time is running out, getting older every day. The only thing that's left for us is hit the road and play.'

 Although unknown to the English-speaking market, Cuby & the Blizzards have been one of Holland's top blues bands since the mid-'60s. Some of their early singles had a beat/punk orientation, particularly "Stumble & Fall" and "Your Body Not Your Soul," both of which would be reissued on various Dutch beat compilations a few decades later. They quickly settled into a straighter blues groove, however. Their claims to fame in the larger rock/pop world are that they briefly backed Van Morrison in the gap between his departure from Them and the beginning of his solo career, although details of the association remain murky; also, at one point lead guitarist Eelco Gelling was asked to join John Mayall's Bluebreakers, although he declined.
