Blacktop joins Julia Minkin and Josephine at Anodyne in Milwaukee.

Blacktop is the Milwaukee-based writing and recording project of multi-instrumentalist and producer, Austin Wood. Resting gently between the genres of folk and surf rock, Blacktop’s sound is adorned with soft-spoken vocals, washed-out guitars, acoustic percussion, and field recordings. When not working full-time in public health or mixing/producing for other artists, Wood writes and records music for Blacktop while drawing inspiration from spiritual philosophies of presence, mindfulness, and impermanence.
