Best practice: shorter is better. Listings will often cut off the description after 2 or 3 sentences.

Often transcending genres, Bywater Call is known for their dynamic, emotional live shows, featuring powerful vocals and exciting interplay between all band members. A powerhouse seven-piece Southern soul, roots rock outfit from Toronto, the band is comprised of Meghan Parnell (vocals), Dave Barnes (guitar), Bruce McCarthy (drums), Mike Meusel (bass), newest member, John Kervin (keys), Stephen Dyte (trumpet) and Julian Nalli (tenor sax). In 2024, Bywater Call was UK Blues Award-nominated for International Blues Artist of the year alongside winners Larkin Poe, after having toured extensively in Europe. Shows have been praised by European media for years, with references to lead singer Meghan Parnell as one of the best female voices in blues and roots today. They have also received multiple Independent Blues and Canadian Maple Blues Award nominations including Entertainer, Electric Act and Best Female Vocalist for the 2024 Awards Season. “Meghan Parnell’s vocals tear into you from the outset … It immediately lets you know why many in the European music media regard her as one the best blues and roots female vocalists.” – At The Barrier “Bywater Call’s sound is distinctly their own. While Parnell’s incredible voice is the centerpiece, it isn’t used to cover up any limitations elsewhere in the band. This group is loaded, top to bottom… so tuned into each other that their music and performance seemed flawless.” – Rick Witt, Denver Entertainment Hub
