A Band on the Rise
Fronted by the commanding vocals of Meghan Parnell and driven by the fiery guitar work of Dave Barnes, Bywater Call has been making waves in the global blues scene. Their growing list of accolades includes nominations for Entertainer of the Year and Best Female Vocalist at the Independent Blues and Maple Blues Awards. They’ve also received back-to-back nominations for International Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards, standing alongside industry giants like Larkin Poe, Joanne Shaw Taylor, and Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram.
Their high-energy performances have lit up festival stages across Europe, with a standout moment at the renowned Moulin Blues Festival in the Netherlands, where Parnell’s vocals were hailed among the finest in contemporary blues and roots music.
Bywater Call doesn’t just perform—they ignite the stage with their passionate, soul-infused blues-rock. From headlining major festivals across Europe and North America to sharing the spotlight with Joe Bonamassa and Blackberry Smoke, their performances leave an unforgettable mark.
Building on a Breakout Year
UK fans were blown away by Bywater Call’s 2024 tour, sparking immense demand for their return. Their latest album, Shepherd (released August 2024), delivered standout tracks like “Everybody Knows,” “Holler,” “Colours,” “As If,” “Roll,” and “For All We Know.” With Planet Rock Radio championing their singles and Classic Rock Magazine naming Shepherd both Album of the Month and later Top Blues Album of the Year, the band is riding a wave of momentum into their 2025 tour.
A Special Guest Like No Other
Adding even more excitement to the tour, Bywater Call will be joined by Dan Patlansky, the critically acclaimed South African blues-rock guitarist known for his breathtaking live performances. Bringing his Loop Station Show Electric (LSS⚡️) to the UK, Patlansky promises an innovative one-man show packed with energy, musical dynamics, and jaw-dropping creativity.
His latest album, Movin’ On (2024), was ranked #3 Blues Rock Album of the Year by Blues Rock Review and showcases his continued evolution as an artist. “This new show reflects that growth, and I can’t wait for UK audiences to experience it,” says Patlansky.
With an electrifying lineup, unforgettable performances, and a fresh surge of blues-rock energy, Bywater Call’s UK tour is shaping up to be one of 2025’s must-see events. Don’t miss out—grab your tickets before they’re gone!
