This week Andrew has two guests — and a conversation you don’t want to miss. Andrew talks with Hootie & The Blowfish drummer Jim “Soni” Sonefeld and hit singer-songwriter Edwin McCain. Soni was first on the podcast in July 2023 & he’s back for an even deeper dive on his career and the success secrets that powered Hootie & The Blowfish to become one of history’s most iconic bands. Along the way, Soni and the Hootie guys crossed paths with another young musician, Edwin McCain, who went on to achieve his own global fame & success with mega hit songs “I’ll Be” & “I Could Not Ask For More” — two of the most iconic love songs in the history of pop music. Both Soni & Edwin join Andrew for a remarkable conversation. You’ll hear all about their storied careers, creative process, & so much more. This is a fantastic conversation about music, friendship, & the power of lifting others up. Show Highlights:0:00 - Intro5:55 - Edwin’s early days8:07 - Edwin dropping out of college to pursue music10:19 - Soni & Edwin cross paths11:09 - “Test marketing” ideas13:37 - Supporting others on the journey14:35 - Healthy competition15:40 - Southeast music ecosystem20:08 - Soni on writing Hootie hit song “Hold My Hand”22:23 - Edwin’s first record deal23:16 - Edwin on writing “I’ll Be”27:45 - Overcoming challenges34:44 - Persistence 39:20 - Necessity & desperation46:59 - Creativity49:10 - Recent collaborations 51:30 - Summer Camps With Trucks Tour ** Follow Andrew On Social Media **Twitter/X: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123Sign up for e-mails to keep up with Andrew's podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter
