Cuby + Blizzards is one of the longest lasting Dutch bluesbands from Grolloo, Netherlands around Harry Muskee (vocals) and Eelco Gelling (guitar).

Cuby + Blizzards was formed in 1964. Harry "Cuby" Muskee died on 26 September 2011.
In 1967 they toured with Van Morrison (in lieu of his band Them), played with Eddie Boyd, scored a hit with Window of my Eyes and received an Edison award. That year, John Mayall stayed at their farm and the next year they regularly played with the 'king of British blues' Alexis Korner.
The line-up of the band changed regularly, but founders Harry Muskee (vocals) and Eelco Gelling (guitar) remained at the core of the band, despite regular unsuccessful attempts to form other bands. Herman Brood was the pianist shortly in 1967 (which kick-started his career) and again in 1976.
The spelling of the name varies, with 'Cuby' also written as 'QB' and the ampersand (&) also written as 'and' or '+' and the 'and sometimes left out. The spelling 'Cuby + Blizzards' was used on the first albums.

Late sixties line-up:

Harry Muskee, vocals
Eelco Gelling, guitar
Herman Deinum, bass guitar
Hans Lafaille, drums
Helmig van der Vegt, piano
