Michael Henchman's latest EP Near and Far is a mostly-acoustic project, continuing to explore characters finding their way along wayward paths, such as the sweetness of finally coming home from across the country, being free yet not free of love, hard times on the prairie, and stepping into a larger life after loss of a parent.  Traveling since childhood, and formerly living many years in Alaska, Michael paints both the tangible and the intangible - what is perceived directly and what is laid across a wider cinematic landscape - in his ongoing fascination with far horizons and how the heart becomes entangled by time and distance; with what is both near and far.
