Edwin McCain (born January 20, 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina) is an and guitar player. While his albums are released under his name, he does have a permanent band, referred to as the Edwin McCain Band. Members of the band as of 2007 include Larry Chaney, lead guitar; Pete Riley, rhythm guitar and background vocals; Craig Shields, saxophone and keyboards; Manny Yames, bass guitar; and Peter Alexander, drums.

After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I’ll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far From Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.

He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

    Awesome singer. Wonderful ballad is "I Don't Know How I Got By" - totally underrated. It's from 1998 soundtrack The Family Man :-)

    I'll be is the shittiest song in their entire playlist. I own the cd "Misguided Roses", and I hate that song with a passion. They have songs that are so much better then that. Just proves that the taste of the public is pretty rank.

    Edwin McCain is so much more than I'll Be. I've grown up listening to him since my dad saw him playing with Hootie And The Blowfish. This man is amazing. I saw him at the Birchmere last year and I cried because his music is so strong. Absolutely everyone should go out and see him live =)
