![]() ![]() From ragtime to rap, from the early phonograph to today's digital recordings, the AFM has been there for its members. I fell off it was a joke.”Įdwin is seriously one of the coolest, most down-to-earth artists ever.Now is the right time to become an American Federation of Musicians member. Edwin said his favorite food is pizza, favorite hobby is wake surfing, favorite sport is football, favorite ice cream flavor is rocky road, and favorite date idea is… “My wife took me horseback riding on one of our first dates – that was a disaster. The angry French poet Voltaire thinks I’m a fool!”Įdwin is clearly not a fool, but he sure seems like a lot of fun. He announced that his favorite quote is Voltaire’s “Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung.” Laughing contagiously, Edwin said “I have that thought in my head when I walk on stage every night. One of the many things we loved about talking to Edwin was his sense of humor. I’m actually warming up to the idea of making a full-length album again.” Yes, please! ![]() Edwin recently released a new EP, “ Phoenix” and is touring to promote it.Įven more exciting? “I’ve got a lot of songs I haven’t recorded yet. ![]() Hearing the story behind a song (similar to the story behind each individual boat) is one of the coolest things for us. That and I overheard a drunk guy at a bar fumble over his words about being a shoulder to cry on or crying shoulder and I remember writing it down on a bar napkin because that phrase sort of hit me the right way, and I went home and wrote it all down, and there you go.” “There was a girl I dated who was on her way to being an actress and it was one of those things where it was never going to last, but I remember I used to always tell her I’d be her greatest fan. So sweet! Maybe his kids will dance to “I’ll Be” at their weddings? ) We asked Edwin about the inspiration behind that song: He said now that the show is over, he might even begin building ships from scratch!Įdwin said that part of the reason why he launched “Boats Have Souls” is so that he could be at home with his family more often instead of always on the road. That unique customization of boats is part of what landed Edwin a television show “Flipping Ships,” which recently completed its first season on Animal Planet. ![]() I think people think it costs too much money to fix a boat, but it costs a lot less money than buying a new boat – and you end up with a boat fully customized for you.” The reason people save these old boats is because they have some kind of memory that’s attached to it, and they don’t have the heart to throw the boat away. So neat, right?! It was clear when talking to Edwin that this is not just a business to him, but truly a passion – and that he pours a lot of time into each individual boat. That hobby turned into him launching Boats Have Souls, a “restoration shop dedicated to bringing life back to vessels and customizing them to perfectly fit their new owners.” Talk about a man of many talents! Amidst working on new music, Edwin found another passion when he came across an old boat in a warehouse and decided to rebuild it. We had the exciting opportunity to interview him last week – and the answer might be slightly different than what you would expect. What IS hard to believe is that the song was released 18 years ago – time is seriously flying! Phil called it “The Best Wedding Song Ever.” It’s simply beautiful – as is “Could Not Ask For More” and every other one of Edwin’s love songs. How many of you either played Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be” at some point during your wedding, or heard it at someone else’s wedding? ![]()
