‘Strummin’ Steve, a watercolor by Mendham painter Fran Wood, was inspired by Steve Norwood performing on the Green on the last day of NJ Uke Fest, August 2016.

Last weekend’s New Jersey Ukulele Festival presented impressive talent– and not just from the professional ranks.

Headliner James Hill  was preceded on stage by the pride of the Morristown Uke Jam, Steve Norwood.

Steve, a retired teacher and talented woodworker from Edison, won the open mic competition at the festival in Whippany.

You can see why from this video of his concert performance, a cover of Keb’ Mo’s She Just Wants to Dance.
