“A soundscape so epic and electric, it ignited – causing hairs to prickle on the backs of people’s necks. …there was no sense of time or place – just the dream that is good music… there is everything to like about this band”
My Global Mind
"It’s about time Bywater Call garnered recognition. This is no ordinary band with a standout lead singer. Their songs are written with insight and come from a place of authenticity and meaning. With a tight rhythm section along with Megan Parnell’s righteous voice, Bywater Call is going places."
Rock and Blues Muse
Meghan Parnell (vocals) and Dave Barnes (guitar) are the founding members of Bywater Call, a powerhouse seven-piece Southern soul, roots rock band from Toronto, Canada.
An Independent and Maple Blues Award nominated band, including Entertainer, Electric Act and Best Female Vocalist for 2023, Bywater have been praised by North American and European media, with references to Meghan as one of the best female voices in blues and roots today.
The band’s music is an exploration of life’s highs and lows. From intimate ballads to electrifying, their catalogue is a journey through the human experience, incorporating influences from the likes of The Band, The Wood Brothers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, Little Feat, Sly and the Family Stone, among others.
Bywater Call is completed by Bruce McCarthy on drums, Mike Meusel on Bass, newest member, John Kervin on Keys, Stephen Dyte on Trumpet and Julian Nalli on Tenor Sax.
