Edwin mccain letter to my mother5/1/2023 ![]() In the months and weeks leading up to your wedding reception, take some time to sit down or talk with your mother to discuss which song you'd like to dance to. While this is one of the most special moments at your wedding reception, try not to put too much pressure on yourself to pick the absolute perfect song. Maybe it was a song that you remember as a child as you were growing up? It's those types of songs that can conjure up some very deep emotions during your wedding reception and may cause tears to fall by your guests. The groom and his mother should think about their relationship when selecting their song. While the groom and his mother can certainly plan to do a nice and fancy choreographed dance, it's been my experience that these songs for these special dances are more about "lyrics" and actually have a deeper meaning than fancy dance moves. This dance, along with the father-daughter dance are often difficult choices that sometimes can take many weeks to decide upon. This dance was not a tradition like the Father / Daughter dance, and has grown in popularity over the past several years. In case you missed my previous posts about the mother-son dance, I made mention that this is actually a rare occasion that the groom's mother gets into the spotlight at Charleston weddings. ![]() Just when one thought that McCain could not get any better, he sang a powerhouse version of his signature tune “I’ll Be,” and towards the end, he sang a few verses unplugged (without the microphone), and captivated the entire venue doing so.Time now for a little Charleston wedding playlist refresher when it comes to the all-important and very special mother-son dance. He fulfilled an audience member’s request, and performed “Letter To My Mother,” which was an emotional vocal that left several fans in tears, prior to singing “Take Me,” where he hit the high notes effortlessly yet again, proving that he is one of the most underrated artists in contemporary music. “Sign on the Door” showcased his wide range as an artist, and it featured an exceptional saxophone solo by Shields, while McCain simultaneously belted out the high notes. “Walk With You” was yet another sultry and beautiful ballad in his set, and “Eight Miles from a Paved Road” was equally impressive, where a baby blue backdrop graced the stage. McCain continued to receive more good “parenting advice” from the audience members, and shared witty stories about his saxophone player, Shields, being a “cat lover,” which may not necessarily be the case. He noted that the 45-year-old version of himself would not get along with the 25-year-old version of himself, since at the time he recorded the song, he did not want to be known for only singing wedding songs, but now, he couldn’t have been happier and subsequently noted that he enjoys hearing it while shopping in the middle of the aisle at Home Depot. It was followed by “Hope For Us,” as vibrant lights dimmed on the stage, and equally stunning was his live rendition of “I Could Not Ask For More.” “Thank God for that song,” McCain said, referring to the latter love ballad. “How’s it going?” he asked the Bay Shore audience, prior to telling them about his third grade child needing to learn 13 spelling words each week, thus asking the crowd for parenting advice. He continued with a laid-back performance of “Gramercy Park Hotel,” which had a neat groove to it. ![]() Let’s get it out of the way first,” McCain said. “We get to start out with the topic of alcohol. McCain began his show with “Sober,” where he displayed his dynamic range and powerhouse vocals. Ryan Hommel served as their opening act, and was able to warm up the stage for McCain with his velvet vocals and acoustic guitar. The Edwin McCain Trio included Larry Chaney on lead guitar and Craig Shields on saxophone.
