Edwin McCain

<p>If our guest on <em>Season 04, Episode 17 </em>of “<em>Load-In Through the Back</em>” is going to be better when he’s older, then we <em>definitely </em>want to speak again.</p><p>We’re chatting with Top 40 pop-folk balladeer (and arguably our new favorite human) <strong>Edwin McCain</strong>!</p><p>Whether you know him as the esteemed singer/songwriter behind the mid-’90s mega-hit “<em>I’ll Be</em>,” as the Loch Ness Monster from <em>FOX</em>’s <em>the Masked Singer</em>, a TikTok celebrity, or maybe just that guy who hangs out with <em>Hootie and the Blowfish</em>, you’ve surely crossed his path. </p><p>Edwin joins us following a valiant battle with a scurry of squirrels to discuss being comically “bad” around famous people, flying with <em>Bill Murray</em>, busking through Hilton Head, the power of persistence, excavating (yes, really), and the <em>true</em> genius of <em>Adam Duritz</em>– among other things. </p><p>His co-headline tour with friend-of-the-show <em>Five for Fighting</em> begins June 4th in Paducah, KY.</p><p>He released his first album of original material in over a decade, “<em>Lucky</em>,” in February of 2025. </p><p>Be sure to follow @TheEdwinMcCain on TikTok and Instagram, and to visit <a href="http://edwin.com"><u>Edwin.com</u></a> for merchandise, tour dates, and streaming links.
