The 67th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday could mark a pivotal moment for artists from Northeast Ohio.

Why it matters: The Grammys is considered music's biggest night, where a big win or memorable performance can launch careers or give them a major boost.

The intrigue: Among those nominated are Cleveland native Durand Bernarr (Best Progressive R&B Album) and Akron's The Black Keys (Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song).

• Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is also vying for his third career win in the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category for the movie "Challengers."
• Several Northeast Ohio artists, including multiple Cleveland Institute of Music alums, also received nominations in classical music categories.

Flashback: Should any of them win, they'll join these Northeast Ohio acts that had big moments at the Grammys:

1983: Groundbreaking Cleveland R&B group The Moonglows performs "Ten Commandments of Love."

1986: "America's Polka King" and Cleveland native Frankie Yankovic is awarded the first-ever Grammy for Best Polka Recording.

1989: Cleveland native Tracy Chapman becomes a Grammy darling, winning three awards including Best New Artist.

More memorable moments

Cleveland Councilman Joe Jones apologized yesterday in the wake of an investigation that found he engaged in a "sustained pattern of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior."

Why it matters: It's the first time Jones has commented on accusations of mistreating staff and making inappropriate comments about an artist's appearance.

What he's saying: "The last few weeks have been very challenging for me personally and professionally," he said in a statement.

• "Although unintended, I recognize that my actions have made others feel uncomfortable, and I sincerely apologize. I've learned a lot about myself and I feel a deep sense of remorse. The fact that these allegations have clouded my service to the community and my residents is heartbreaking."

Zoom in: He said he will "temporarily step back from committee deliberations" as he focuses on professional development and accountability.

Reality check: Jones' committee resignations were not voluntary.

• According to an internal memo reported by Signal Cleveland, Jones must receive one-on-one coaching from a "workplace behavior specialist" and is suspended indefinitely from his committee assignments.
• Jones was chair of the Mayor's Appointments Committee and vice chair of the higher Public Safety Committee.

What's next: Jones could face further punishment.

• The city charter allows city council to expel their colleagues for violation of their rules with a two-thirds vote.
