McCain was Nessy on the popular Fox series
Singer-Songwriter Edwin McCain was ceremoniously “unmasked” last night (Wed, Apr 23rd) on the Fox series The Masked Singer, ending his impressive run up to the Final 6 as the costumed character “Nessy.” With judge guesses ranging from Gene Simmons to Sting, McCain kept fans and panelists alike guessing until the big reveal. The elimination came after what host Nick Cannon called “the closest margin in Masked Singer history, less than one percent!”
To celebrate the unmasking, McCain will host an Unmasked Friends Party on May 7th at L.A.’s iconic Troubadour. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the LA Fire Charities. The event promises an unforgettable night of music and surprises, with special guests — including fellow Masked Singer alumni and longtime friends of Edwin—expected to join him on stage for live performances. It’s set to be a joyful evening of reunion, reflection, and celebration of McCain’s journey both on the show and in music.
The reveal also coincides with the release of Lucky, McCain’s 11th studio album and his first collection of new material since 2011’s Mercy Bound. A heartfelt reflection on career longevity, gratitude, and creative passion, Lucky marks a bold and meaningful new chapter for the beloved singer-songwriter.
McCain is supporting the project with a tour that resumes on May 3rd in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Stops are scheduled through the fall, wrapping with a performance on the Rockin’ in Paradise with Styx and Friends destination vacation in October.
