X-WR-CALDESC:Singer/songwriter Edwin McCain had his major-label breakout wi
 th his album\, Honor Among Thieves and he became a Top 40 star with chart-
 topping singles like “I’ll Be” and “I Couldn’t Ask for More.” The latter w
 as featured on the soundtrack for the 1999 film Message in a Bottle\, and 
 five of his 11 albums reached the Billboard 200. More recently\, audiences
  may know him from his “breathtaking” experience performing hit songs whil
 e disguised as “Nessy\,” the Loch Ness Monster\, during a run to the “Fina
 l Five” on the hit show\, The Masked Singer.\n\nThe Greenville\, South Car
 olina native sang in the church choir and was in the band in high school. 
 In a 2023 interview with The Greenville Journal\, he explained that while 
 he tried college\, music was his passion. “I was bussing at a Mexican rest
 aurant during the Spoleto Festival in Charleston and the manager said he’d
  pay me $75 and feed me if I’d play on their deck. I thought I was rich! I
  dropped out of college the next day. I put a band together and we started
  opening for Hootie (and the Blowfish).”\n\nWhen Atlantic Records signed H
 ootie\, McCain came along for the ride. When his song\, “I’ll Be\,” was pl
 ayed during the final episode of Dawson’s Creek\, his career was launched\
 , but he wasn’t ready for the fame. The life of a rock star didn’t suit hi
 m\, and he found his niche not with big labels\, but as an independent art
 ist. He is proud of the longevity of his career and still tours extensivel
 y. Recently\, he had the honor of playing The Grand Ole Opry\, a thrill he
  shared with his family\, and in 2025\, he released Lucky\, his first full
  studio album in 15 years. The album’s 10 tracks span blues\, rock\, soul\
 , and folk influences and reflect his musical roots while embracing modern
  inspirations\, including an electronic edge on the song “Empire.”\n\nThe 
 New York Times called McCain “a great American romantic\,” and he continue
 s to connect with fans through his music and TikTok videos\, where his wit
 ty\, self-deprecating humor\, often at the expense of his exasperated daug
 hter\, has won over a new generation of fans. A podcast based on his TikTo
 k life and more touring are in his future\, but he’s not fazed. “I found m
 yself in this sweet spot doing this for 35 years\,” he said. “And if I end
  up playing for tourists on a deck in Hilton Head one day? That would be O
 K\, too.”\n\nMcCain would just think he’d been extremely Lucky.
