Edwin McCain Trio

Live at The Bend · West Bend, Wisconsin Edwin McCain Trio Acoustic Trio — Live Acoustic Trio 90-Minute Set #5 Billboard Hit “I’ll Be” New Album “Lucky” Out Now The voice behind two of the most-played love songs of the ’90s trades the full band for an intimate acoustic trio — one night, one stage, the hits stripped down to where they started. One Night Only Saturday November 7, 2026 6:30 PMDoors 7:30 PMShow Get Tickets “a great American romantic” The New York Times Hear It First The songs you already know the words to Two of the most-licensed love songs of the last thirty years — and the reason this room will be singing along. Edwin McCain – “I’ll Be” (Official Music Video) The 1998 breakout single — peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Edwin McCain – “I Could Not Ask For More” (Official Music Video) The 1999 follow-up, from the Message in a Bottle soundtrack — a Top 40 hit and a wedding-day staple ever since. The Short Version Thirty years of hits, one very small room Edwin McCain broke out in the mid-’90s with Honor Among Thieves, then went Top 40 twice over with “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More” — two songs that have soundtracked more first dances and slow dances than almost anything else from the era. He’s since shared stages with Hootie & the Blowfish, Collective Soul, and Train, and turned up in an unlikely spot in 2025: disguised as Nessy the Loch Ness Monster on The Masked Singer, where he made it all the way to the Final Five. After fifteen years away from the studio, McCain returned in 2025 with Lucky, a ten-song album he co-produced with Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann that moves easily between blues, soul, rock, and folk — from the driving opener “Chasing a Memory” to the ache of “Love Me or Leave Me Alone.” West Bend gets the stripped-back version: McCain and his trio, acoustic, with nowhere for a great song to hide. Called a “great American romantic” by The New York Times, McCain has also picked up a newer audience through TikTok, where his dry, self-deprecating videos with his daughter have gone properly viral. On November 7, all of it — the hits, the new record, the humor — comes to The Bend stage for one night only.
