Cuby and the Blizzards

Once upon a time, in the 1964, in the small village of Grollo, Drenthe, a group of friends lived in a commune type setting and started making blues music. Their leaders were Harry Muskee, known as Cuby, and Eelco Gelling, known as one of the best blues guitarists in the Netherlands (In fact, yours truly was almost named after mr Eelco Gelling, if not for her gender). For a while the most famous junkie, artist and musician Herman Brood, who was not yet famous then, was their guitarplayer.

They had quite some success, even toured with Van Morrison. After taking a break in the late 1970s, the band got together again in the late 90s.
