Adam Blacksmith – Lost for words

For his second full length undertaking “Blind to the Sea“, Adam Blacksmith has derived inspiration from his day job as special education teacher at Long Bay Jail. 

Crime and punishment, relationships, identity and Australian Aboriginal history are among the themes explored by this salt of the earth album replete with metaphor and prose. 

The listener is in for an eclectic sound with overtures of brooding indie-folk, a product of Blacksmith’s keen eye for storytelling coupled with the production genius of Jordan Ellery. 

​A local in Sydney’s Maroubra beach, Blacksmith counts Dylan, Augie March, The Drones, Converge and Carcass to be some of his musical heroes. 

In today’s episode we discuss his new album and the challenges being an up and comer in today’s music scene, his life working as an educator in Longbay Gaol and his incredible break on the SBS docuseries, Lost for words.
