There are many facets to Edwin McCain's career - a platinum selling recording artist whose hits "I'll Be", "Solitude" and "I Could Not Ask For More" have brought him to the attention of millions; a tireless troubadour whose concerts regularly sell out and a hilarious and enthralling storyteller. If you check out Edwin’s MySpace site you’re in for a shock! ‘I’ll Be’ alone has received over 15 million hits!


Since his 1993 debut, McCain has garnered the attention of millions with the top 10 smash "I'll Be," and the Diane Warren-penned top 40 hit "I Could Not Ask For More," and as a tireless troubadour whose rapturous live performances regularly sell-out. In May 2005, McCain performed "I'll Be" on The Dr. Phil Show, which was voted the "Best Wedding Song" ever by over one million viewers.

The seeds for McCain's blend of southern soul and acoustic storytelling were planted in Greenville, South Carolina, where he was born and raised, and still resides. In 1993, he formed the Edwin McCain Band and released Solitude. A quartet of albums on Lava/Atlantic Records followed, starting with Honor Among Thieves (1995), the breakthrough album Misguided Roses (1997), which featured "I'll Be," and Messenger (1999), which included "I Could Not Ask for More," also featured in the film Message in a Bottle, that drove Messenger to RIAA Gold Certification. In 2001, Edwin's last recording for Lava/Atlantic, Far From Over, was released. In 2003, McCain teamed with ATC Records to release Austin Sessions, and in the summer of 2004, DRT Entertainment released Scream and Whisper.

In 2005 McCain released a single, "Hold Out a Hand" with co-writer & performer Maia Sharp and this song, available for a 99 cent download on iTunes Store, gave all profits to the relief of the hurricane victims of that year 2005.

Edwin McCain Band's newest original material CD, "Lost in America", was released in 2006 on Vanguard Records. There were three single releases from this CD: "Gramercy Park Hotel", "Truly Believe", and "The Kiss."

Edwin's next release, a collection of R&B cover songs entitled "Nobody's Fault But Mine" was released in June 2008 under a one off deal with Saguaro Road Records and led to a massive, sell-out tour across the USA. In spring 2010 Edwin will be releasing his first Greatest Hits Collection.
