Lost Grammy Nominee: Harpers Bizarre
The only Best New Artist nominees to survive a plane hijacking
Welcome to my series on lost Grammy nominees. Once a month or so, I’ll write a bonus post for paid subscribers that looks at an obscure nominee in one of three major Grammy categories: Best New Artist, Record of the Year, or Song of the Year. You can find all the entries in the series right here.
Harpers Bizarre survived a plane hijacking in 1969, which makes their Grammy nomination for Best New Artist the second most notable thing about their career.
