About this event

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.
