Artist description Communist. Devout Atheist. Mental patient. A very tall dude and his thin-line acoustic axe, flat-pickin' and growlin' out a nebula of socially conscious tunes. Displaced Southerner-cum-Manhattanite. SC Farmer's son makes it as techie in the Big City. Norwood's songs are less often about love -- they're far to the left of love.

Press Reviews No press, just real-people feedback. After carrying the whole open mike show on his own at Rockafella's (where a certain million-selling act got its start), the owner said "Thank you! the people in the crowd told me they were REALLY enjoying it." and offered him his choice of bottles from the bar. When he was playing a vegetarian restaurant in Binghampton NY for tips, a nice chick came up and said, "You're very good, you know?"
