I couldn't find this one: Al Jardine. The Beach Boys have a few at least, maybe 7-8 at the most. Jardine is from Ironton I believe.

Rascal Flatts won one in 2006. Two of the three members were born in Columbus.

Tracy Chapman (Cleveland) has 4 Grammys.

Dean Martin won the Grammy lifetime achievement award...if that counts.

Nine Inch Nails has won 2.

Brian Hugh Warner was born in Canton. Don't think he ever won a Grammy but I'd prefer him over any artist listed by SVF.

the one frequents the bar his dad hangs at everytime hes around. he sets the bar up and then it turns into a buy fest. everyone starts setting the bar up. since the bar only holds about fifteen people it dont get to bad.

Rascal Flatts and Tracy Chapman, yes. Good call. Dean Martin I don't think counts. Trent Reznor definitely not as he wasn't born in Ohio. He's from out my way in nw PA.

He's a freak. Maybe that's why you like him. Good thing you don't get a vote.
