April 4 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$35 – $45
BYWATER CALL, out of Toronto, Canada, is a perennial 443 favorite with a new, exuberant musical hybrid of rock, blues, New Orleans funk, R&B and southern soul. We’re thrilled to welcome them back to Syracuse for a two-night run on April 3 & 4, 2025.
“It’s about time Bywater Call garnered recognition. This is no ordinary band with a stand-out 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
Bywater Call is made up of Meghan Parnell (vocals), Dave Barnes (guitar), Bruce McCarthy on drums, Mike Meuselon on Bass, newest member John Kervin on Keys, Stephen Dyte on Trumpet and Julian Nalli on Tenor Sax.
Bywater Call has received multiple Independent Blues and Maple Blues Award nominations, including Entertainer, Electric Act, and Best Female Vocalist for the 2024 Awards Season.
They have toured extensively in Europe, where their shows have been praised by Dutch, German, and UK media, which have referred to Meghan as one of the best female voices in blues and roots today.
In August 2023, the band participated in Joe Bonamassa’s third Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Mediterranean Cruise alongside headliners Blackberry Smoke and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and were invited to perform at the All-Star Jam on the mainstage with Bonamassa himself. Guitarist Dave Barnes was also asked to join legendary blues artist Jimmy Vivino (Conan O’Brien’s Basic Cable Band) on stage.
Bywater Call has commanded festival stages in Canada and worldwide, often called the “find of the fest.” In May of 2023, they opened for Canadian Award-winning band White Horse at the inaugural Smokestack Music Festival in Hamilton, Ontario. In July, Meghan joined renowned pedal-steel guitarist Robert Randolph on stage at his request at the Briggs Farm Festival in Nescopeck, PA.
On October 24, 2023, Bywater performed a live stream performance for the famed German TV show and festival Rockpalast. In 2023 alone, the band played 96 shows in 10 countries, 89 Cities, 19 US States, and 3 Canadian Provinces. This does not include a month-long duo tour in Europe and the UK where Meghan and Dave opened for Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck, who have recently partnered with Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records.
The band’s music is an exploration of life’s highs and lows. From intimate ballads that lay bare the complexities of human emotion to electrifying anthems that demand to be played at full volume, their catalog 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.
