About
Acclaimed 7-piece Southern Soul, Blues, Roots Rock, Jam Band Bywater Call is a powerhouse 7-piece band out of Toronto, Canada.
In 2020, Bywater Call won a Maple Blues Award (Canada) for "Best New Artist” after the release of their self-titled debut album. Their first album received critical acclaim and stellar reviews across all territories and placed #1 on the Roots Music Report. The Band’s much anticipated sophomore album 'Remain' was released September 2022 worldwide.
Bywater Call was formed in 2017, and they have been Maple Blues and Independent Blues Award Nominated and have made waves in the Canadian Festival Circuit. In November 2021, Meghan was a featured performer at the Women’s Blues Review at Toronto’s historic Roy Thompson Hall.
The band also had the opportunity to tour Europe twice, featuring a mainstage appearance at the Netherlands’ premiere blues festival MOULIN BLUES. Performances there have been praised in Dutch and German media, with references to Meghan as one of the best singers in blues and roots today.
In August 2023, the band will participate in Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Mediterranean Cruise alongside headliners Blackberry Smoke, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Bonamassa himself. They have headlined festival stages from Belgium to Ontario, Canada, and in 2023 will be gracing festival mainstages from Germany to Florida, Colorado to Quebec City, Fredericton to Kentucky, among many other American and Canadian cities, including opening for White Horse at the inaugural edition of the Smoke Stack Music Festival in Hamilton Ontario.
Bywater won the opportunity to compete in the 2023 edition of famed International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee, but instead Meghan and Dave found themselves in the UK opening for the Joe Bonamassa supported band Robert Jon and the Wreck out of the US.
BYWATER CALL includes: Meghan Parnell (Lead Vocals); Dave Barnes (Guitar); Stephen Dyte (Trumpet); Bruce McCarthy (Drums); Mike Meusel (Bass); Julian Nalli (Saxophone); and Alan Zemaitis (Keyboards) - and together they produce a glorious wall of sound!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 3 out of 5 Too loud for the venue
by Dan on 12/4/23Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - PortsmouthWe heard Bywater Call recently at Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club in Portsmouth, NH. There was no doubt that the musicians and vocalist were talented, but they were much too loud for that small venue. Several members of our group ended up fabricating earplugs out of their beverage napkins. Unfortunately, most of them could not understand the lyrics being sung, and did not enjoy the experience.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Show
by Dave C on 12/4/23Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - PortsmouthThe show was fantastic. We had never seen them before and were very happy we did. The music was outstanding and the band was tight and the lead singer is awesome. Very glad we went.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Must see Canadian band
by Gigi on 12/7/22Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - PortsmouthBywater Call was an unexpected amazing show. Unknown to us before the show and now want to find out where they are playing next! Amazing vocals and incredible guitar and saxophone playing. Keyboards, trumpet, bass guitar and drums all combined for a great sound. Add them to your must see list!
