In 2016, Grolloo in Drenthe became the heart of the blues with the launch of the Holland International Blues Festival. The event honors Harry Muskee, the blues legend who gained international fame with Cuby + Blizzards in the 1960s and 1970s. Grolloo, his home base, was where iconic music was born.

Starting in 2025, Harry Muskee Blues Heritage will proudly become the festival’s main sponsor. Its mission? To preserve the festival’s roots and honor Harry Muskee’s legacy.

We also look to the future. Harry Muskee Blues Heritage actively supports and inspires emerging blues artists. Blues is more than music—it’s a feeling, a story, and a legacy we aim to pass on to new generations.

Get involved. Live the blues. Support the heritage.
