Edwin McCain Biography

The American singer-songwriter Edwin McCain was born in 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina. After touring with Hootie and the Blowfish in the early 1990’s, Edwin McCain signed his own deal with Atlantic Records and released his debut album, Honor Among Thieves, in 1994. The album was a success, but it was McCain’s sophomore effort which would become his big breakthrough as a musician.

Misguided Roses arrived in the following year and on the strength of the hit “I’ll Be,” rose to the top of the charts. The single made its way into many of the year’s television shows and films, and suddenly Edwin McCain was a significant star on the rise.  Between 1999 and 2006, McCain released the additional albums: Messenger (1999), Far from Over (2001), The Austin Sessions (2003), Scream & Whisper (2004), and Lost in America (2006.) Messenger featured another notable hit from Edwin McCain, the song “I Could Not Ask For more,” which rose into the top twenty and was featured in the film Message in a Bottle.

Edwin McCain continues to perform and record. His most recent album, Mercy Bound, was released in 2011, although McCain has plans to return to the studio to record another album sometime in the near future.
