Nathan Edwards says his upcoming album, Far Away from Here, is the culmination of several years of writing and recording. The songs center around themes of time and travel. He says they’re a means of sharing his struggles with the existential search for meaning and the answers to why we’re here. Edwards says creating this album says was a time of intense growth, both as a songwriter, recording engineer, and as a person.
Raised in Wisconsin, Nathan Edwards is currently assistant professor of audio technology in the digital arts and design program at Dakota State University in Madison. Although Far Away from Here isn’t officially out until May 19th, he has an album release concert on Wednesday at the Brickhouse in downtown Madison.
Nathan Edwards joined Dakota Midday and played a couple songs from the new CD.
