Ian Blackwood is the founder and writer behind Blackwood Station. He was raised in the Finger Lakes region of NY where he grew to love the freewheeling and experimental nature of 60s album rock from his father’s extensive record collection. After moving to Richmond in 2014 he focused on honing his talent as a mandolin and fiddle player in the local alt-country scene and currently performs with Woody Woodworth & The Piners and Dogwood Brothers.
