THE INCENDIARY SEVEN-PIECE SOUL & ROOTS POWERHOUSE
“A living, breathing testament to what happens when a band catches fire, led by a vocalist who doesn’t just perform but preaches the blues. Bywater Call isn’t following the tradition, they’re pushing it forward one electrifying show at a time.” – Blues Matters

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Bywater Call are a Southern soul and roots rock powerhouse — a band that doesn’t so much play music as channel it.

Every show is an event. Every note feels earned.

Nominated for the UK Blues Award for International Blues Artist of the Year for three consecutive years, alongside internationally acclaimed artists including Beth Hart and Walter Trout, Bywater Call have continued to cement their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the international blues and roots rock circuit.
They have performed over 140 shows across 10 countries in a single year, appearing on Joe Bonamassa’s legendary Keeping the Blues Alive cruise, and taking the stage at the Netherlands’ prestigious BOSPOP Festival alongside The Black Keys, Marcus King, and Blackberry Smoke.
Their critically acclaimed studio album Shepherd was named Blues Album of the Year by Classic Rock Magazine, and their 2025 live album Sunshine arrived to widespread acclaim — proof, if any were needed, that this band is at the absolute peak of their powers.
A JOURNEY THROUGH SOUL
Drawing on the richness of The Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, Little Feat, and Sly & the Family Stone, Bywater Call’s music is a journey through the full spectrum of human experience — tender and explosive, soulful and raucous, always deeply, thrillingly real.
