Bywater Call was formed in 2017. In the short time since its inception, the band made waves in the Toronto blues scene, playing main stages at festivals such as Tremblant International Blues, Donnaconna Blues, TD Toronto Jazz, Toronto Beaches Jazz, and Orangeville Blues. The Toronto-based 2020 Maple Blues Awards nominee for Best New Artist, Bywater Call, saw the release of their debut album in November 2019 in Canada, the USA, Europe, and Australia. The album placed number one on the Roots Music Report Canada Top 50 for 11 weeks. Born out of a love for southern soul, blues, and roots music and a passion for creating a powerful and moving experience for listeners, Before March 2020, Bywater Call successfully toured the album across Europe, playing 39 cities in 45 days to packed houses and great responses.
