Vermonters made their presence known on the list of Grammy nominations Nov. 7, with natives of Waitsfield, Jericho and Barre earning nods for the biggest prize in music.
The Grammy Awards will be handed out in a ceremony Sunday, Feb. 1, in Los Angeles and will be broadcast by CBS and streamed on Paramount+. Big-name artists such as Chappell Roan, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are all over the top categories (Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year), but Vermont musicians show up in a few of the other 90-plus.
Read on to find out which Vermonters are nominated in which categories:
Vermont rock musician Grace Potter
