Planet Rock Radio, the UK’s number one Rock and Blues radio station brings you a new live event in conjunction with The Gig Cartel. The event is called ‘Blues Power LIVE’ aptly named after the radio station’s flagship Blues show and is hosted and curated by none other than the Blues maestro Bernard Doherty.
The show features top touring acts from the world of contemporary blues rock, old school blues, and future breakthrough talent and the most hotly tipped, up-and-coming acts in the genre.
Critically acclaimed Canadian blues, roots, rock and soul band Bywater Call headline ‘Blues Power LIVE’ at London Dingwalls on Friday, October 25th. Special guests are These Wicked Rivers and Lauren Housley and The Northern Cowboys.
Bywater Call tour the UK from October 16-26, 2024. Tickets are available at The Gig Cartel. Bywater Call will also be releasing their highly anticipated new album Shepherd on Friday, August 9th. Pre-order links can be found via www.bywatercall.com.
Often transcending genres, Bywater Call is known for their dynamic, emotional live shows, featuring powerful vocals and exciting interplay between all band members.
The band was UK Blues Award-nominated for the 2024 International Blues Artist of the Year. They have toured extensively in Europe where shows have been praised by Dutch, German and UK media, with references to Meghan as one of the best female voices in blues and roots today.
Bywater has been busy. In 2023 they played a total of 96 shows in 10 countries, 89 cities, 19 US states and 3 Canadian provinces, including Joe Bonamassa’s third Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Mediterranean Cruise.

ABOUT BYWATER CALL
Bywater Call, is a powerhouse seven-piece Southern soul, roots rock band from Toronto, Canada. The band is completed by Meghan Parnell (vocals), Dave Barnes (guitar), Bruce McCarthy on drums, Mike Meusel on Bass, newest member, John Kervin on Keys, Stephen Dyte on trumpet and Julian Nalli on tenor sax.
Bywater is currently UK Blues Award nominated for International Blues Artist of the year. They have toured extensively in Europe where shows have been praised by Dutch, German and UK media, with references 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 have commanded festival stages in Canada and around the world, often referred to as the “find of the fest”. In May of 2023, they opened for Canadian award-winning band Whitehorse 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 a total of 96 shows in 10 countries, 89 Cities, 19 US States and three Canadian provinces. This is not including 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 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.
