Surprised my wife with the concert at the Charleston music Hall, we truly enjoyed our evening as “I’ll be” is our song.
See Edwin McCain at some point in your life. My 6th time and I’m 72 years old.
Edwin put on a great show! He’s still got it! He took time for stories and even played a really old song which was awesome.
I've seen Edwin McCain probably 25-30 times over the past 30 years. Never seen a bad show. We laugh, we cry, we sing. Always entertaining, always polished. So much talent. Thank you, Edwin and Bandmates for all the years of sharing your gift with us.
I originally got tickets because my daughter selected his song “Walk With You” for our father/daughter dance at her wedding. The lyrics will crush any father. To our pleasant surprise, he played with a full band and they rocked! The entire band was great, the lead guitarist was outstanding! Edwin makes many comical and appropriate comments throughout the show and he has many great songs that touch the heart. For the encore they did Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” - great ending to a great show!
Edwin McCain sang great, the music was fantastic and his band was equally as good as he was. Great evening except for a dozen or so immature, loud, unpleasant people in the audience who were complete morons. They were yellling out at McCain, singing very loud off key, just generally people who apparently could care less about everyone else in attendance. Even Edwin was put off several times by their noise, and responded in kind! McCain gave them the freebird!
Edwin’s music is so very entwined with lives of my family. Since our children were babies we have always enjoyed his music and song writing. our children, now in their 30s have a very special relationship with Edwin’s music as do my wife (for 36 years now) and I. His banter and stories between songs truly make us feel as if he is speaking directly to us! I can’t say enough about how this man and his songs have shaped our lives and we love to give that appreciation and support back, whenever he is preforming anywhere near us so we can attend his shows. As with a million other dad’s I suppose, my daughter and I danced at her wedding to “Walk with you” and the meaning behind the lyrics made our hearts swell the entire dance. Never ever miss an Edwin McCain performance if you can help it. It is an epic experience and we always feel special to be in his presence, as humble and congenial as he is. Thank you for sharing your music Edwin McCain! Keep it coming and we will keep listening. Show was phenomenal as was the venue and the ticket acquisition process.
I flew from Seattle to Virginia to introduce my sister to the magic of Edwin McCain. I had seen him three times before and each time he was nothing short of spectacular. Unfortunately, this time he was short. Edwin has one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard live. Combined with a wonderful guitar playing talent and a terrific band, crowds always beg for more. But this show was different. His usual trio featured two more members. Not to say they were not talented in their own right, they were. But in this show, he had a tendency to harmonize his songs rather than sing with the passion I had grown used to. The change in tempo did not go over well with me. It was more of an experimentation concert. For example, my favorite song is Solitude. Which is kind of an angry song about a boy's Mom, who puts him in a mental institution when he is clearly well. The song was originally sung with Darius Rucker but has been featured as an encore solo that Edwin sings such veracity you would think he was the one who was once locked up. This time he sung it at a slower tempo with a new bandmate joining in. It did not work for me. The audience did not give him the love that usually is given after the song is played. All of us were clearly disappointed. Last time I saw Edwin play, it was in an auditorium that had no acoustics. He sung a George Michael song in closing. It may have been One More Try. I never thought anyone could challenge George Michael when singing one of his songs, but Edwin was magnificent. He was clearly on another level. This concert he chose a song I believe was from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. It didn't allow him to show off the chops he clearly has. Though I know he always sings at least two encore songs I left after this one and called it a night to avoid traffic. Edwin McCain is still one of the most talented acts in the business, but he needs to be greedy and be the primary singer. It was perplexing why he changed tempo to allow another to sing with him when he is the powerful voice we paid for. I will always catch Edwin when it is convenient because he is one of the best out there. But I am keeping my fingers crossed that the next time I venture out to see him he realizes that it is he who we want to show off. No one else needs to be in his spotlight.
I have seen Edwin before, but not in such small venue with the full band. He and they were absolutely amazing and awesome!!! Can't wait to see them again!!
