I will say this, I stayed at Wild Wings and played with them for I don't even know how many years. I moved to Hilton Head and I was playing outside of the Holiday Inn at the Tiki hut. The first place I started playing was a Mexican restaurant in Charleston called San Miguel's, it's not there anymore. It wasn't the first place, but it was in the very early days. Is that where you got your start?Ī: Absolutely. Q: I heard you played for the first time at a Wild Wing Cafe in Hilton Head, S.C.
I've done that for so long, it's important to me to acknowledge someone else's talent. To have someone in my life that knows me as well as she does, it's almost not fair, because she'll write the song and I'll be like "you're killing me, stop writing my life." One of the things that I've learned, too, is that I don't have to write all of the songs. Some of the songs Maia wrote and brought to me, and they say what I've been meaning to say. What is the album focus and inspiration?Ī: I think it's a good snapshot of the last three years of my life. We just keep riding the ride and it seems to keep going. I've been very grateful, lucky and blessed all at once.
I'm happy people refer to me as a musician and not the college drop-out that I am. I think as a songwriter, how people find out about you is how you will always be known. Q: How do you feel about being dubbed a romantic musician?Ī: I guess those are the two songs I'm most known for but I've also got songs out that are about darker subjects. it was one of those nice ones that happened in like 20 minutes. She had a melody, and I had the idea for the song. I got with my writing partner, Maia, and it kind of popped out. We knew it was a girl, so there was a lot of a dual moments that crept into my thinking. I started trying to put my head around that moment, but at the same time my wife was pregnant with our third child, Tiller. My favorite song was an a capella version of “I’ll Be” that was so beautiful it literally brought tears to my eyes.A: The genesis of the song a friend of mine's daughter was getting married, and he called me and asked me if I would write him a song for his daughter for the wedding. It really made me feel like it was more than a concert-it was almost like getting to know an old friend. One of the coolest things was that he would tell little stories about his life and give details about the meanings behind his songs. He was really entertaining throughout the show, making jokes and talking to people in the audience-it made the show feel more personal and really enhanced the experience for me. I was surprised that his voice is even better in person than on a CD or on the radio-the man can flat out sing! I’m so used to studio alteration and autotune that it was so nice to hear just a great, smooth voice that didn’t need anything to be perfect. The acoustics were amazing, and the concert felt way more intimate than I would have ever expected. We saw him at the Tillman Auditorium in Clemson, and it was the PERFECT place to see him. So, I actually got to meet Edwin McCain at a charity golf tournament last year, but I’d never had a chance to see him in concert until now so when one of my friends got tickets, I jumped at the chance. Stennis, whilst it was on a Western Pacific deployment in Guam. Unfortunately, between the release of “Lost in America” in 2006 and “Mercy Bound”, McCain didn’t have any commercial success, but he still tours nationally, including performing on board USS John C. Still on the Atlantic Record Label, McCain released the album “Far From Over” which unfortunately didn’t make it into the top 100, but it did however, feature the single “Hearts Fall” which made it to number 27 on the Adult Contemporary charts. It featured the hit single written by Dianne Warren, “I Could Not Ask for More” which reached number 37 in the Billboard Hot 100. On June 15th 1999, Edwin McCain released the album “Messenger” which made it to number 59 in the Billboard 200.

The song has since been featured in the TV show “Higher Ground” and the motion picture, A Cinderella Story.
The album went to number 73 on the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned the hit single “I’ll Be” which made it to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. He released his second album, “Misguided Roses” On June 24th 1997. He entered the studio the same year to record his debut major label release, “Honor Among Thieves” on the same division, “Lava Records” as Matchbox Twenty, Kid Rock and Jewel. This fortunately led to him attracting the attention of Atlantic Records, whom he signed with in 1994. McCain’s career started out when he embarked on a tour with Hootie and the Blowfish.
