Get ready for a soul-stirring, high-energy ride as Bywater Call, the electrifying 7-piece Southern Soul and Roots Rock sensation from Toronto, Canada, returns to the UK for an 8-date November 2025 tour with special guest Dan Patlansky LSS.
An exclusive Planet Rock ticket pre-sale starts at 10am on Friday 14 February. Pre-order tickets are available HERE. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Monday 17 February at thegigcartel.com.
Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Meghan Parnell and driven by the fiery guitar work of Dave Barnes, Bywater Call has been making waves across the globe, earning nominations from the Independent Blues and Maple Blues Awards, including “Entertainer of the Year” and “Best Female Vocalist.”
The band were also nominated for the 2024 UK Blues Awards “International Artist of the Year” alongside the winner of the category, Larkin Poe. This year, the band was short-listed once again for this award and are in the top 20 along with Larkin Poe, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Beth Hart, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, Samantha Fish, Bobby Rush and other notables in the genre.
Their live performances have set European festival stages ablaze, including a show-stopping set at the legendary Moulin Blues festival in the Netherlands—where Meghan’s vocals were hailed as the finest in blues and roots music today.
But Bywater Call doesn’t just play their music— they ignite it with a unique style of blues-infused roots, rock and soul. From headlining festivals across Europe and North America to sharing the stage with legends like Joe Bonamassa and Blackberry Smoke, their commanding live presence is second to none.
UK fans got a taste of their firepower in 2024 — leaving audiences hungry for more. Now Bywater Call is coming back and is ready to once again deliver an energetic, emotional experience that transcends genres, and promises to leave a lasting impression.
In August 2024, Bywater Call released their third album Shepherd which featured the singles “Everybody Knows,” “Holler,” “Colours,” “As If,” “Roll,” and “For All We Know.” “Everybody Knows” and Holler” were championed and put on high rotation on Planet Rock; the UK’s popular classic rock radio station.
In their August 2024 issue, Henry Yates of Classic Rock Magazine made Shepherd his Album of the Month in his Blues round-up, and said it was “an inventive and uncommonly catchy record,” and added, “the sense of a band on the brink is unmistakable.” The album was also selected as the Top Blues Album of the Year in the magazine’s year-end round-up.
Bywater Call’s special guest is the critically acclaimed and award-winning South African singer-songwriter and guitarist Dan Patlansky who will bring his brand-new Loop Station Show Electric (LSS⚡️) —a fresh and innovative take on the solo live performance.
This is not your typical one-man show. Loop Station Show Electric will feature all the energy, dynamics, and firepower of Dans show. Every song will be reimagined and delivered in an exciting new way— all electric, all live, all Dan.
“On record, Dan Patlansky is superb, but on stage, he takes it to another level.” – Music News
Over the past few years, he has been refining his craft, writing new material, and pushing his musicianship to new heights. In 2024, Patlansky released his 11th album “Movin’ On” which garnered rave reviews was voted the #3 Blues Rock Album of the year by Blues Rock Review.
“The time away from touring gave me a rare opportunity to focus on my playing, singing, and songwriting like never before,” says Patlansky. “This new show reflects that growth, and I can’t wait for UK audiences to experience it.”
With a reputation for jaw-dropping live performances, Loop Station Show Electric promises an unforgettable night of world-class blues-rock innovation from one of the genre’s most respected modern guitarists.
