Pawling is a small town, and NY-22 is not exactly a destination road — but Daryl’s House is the kind of room that makes the drive make sense. A 300-capacity club in the Hudson Valley, intimate and close to the stage, where sound behaves the way it should in a listening room. On Sunday, October 18, that room hosts Bywater Call, a seven-piece Southern soul and roots rock ensemble from Toronto who have been turning heads on both sides of the Atlantic — and who are exactly the kind of band this venue was built for.
About Bywater Call
The band is led by vocalist Meghan Parnell, whose voice Classic Rock magazine describes as delivering “a smooth, slow-burning mix of modern soul and emotional nuance” — a comparison to Susan Tedeschi that shows up in more than one review, and that holds up. Behind her: Dave Barnes on guitar, Mike Meusel on bass, Bruce McCarthy on drums, John Kervin on keys, Stephen Dyte on trumpet, and Julian Nalli on tenor sax. Seven people who play like one thing.
The October show is part of the Broken Souvenirs Tour, supporting the band’s fourth studio album, out July 29, 2026 — eleven original compositions blending soul, blues, roots rock, and R&B, drawing from The Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, and Little Feat. Music News gave them five stars and called them “one of the few current bands who strike that nerve.” They’ve earned back-to-back UK Blues Award nominations for International Blues Artist of the Year, shortlisted alongside Larkin Poe, Beth Hart, and Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram. That’s the company they keep.
Venue: Daryl’s House
Daryl’s House is at 130 NY-22 in Pawling — easy to find, easy to put in your GPS, worth planning around. At 300 capacity, this is a listening room, and Bywater Call’s seven-piece sound is going to land differently here than it does in a festival tent or a 2,000-seat theater. Doors open at 5:00 PM, showtime is 7:00 PM EDT, and the show is all ages. October in the Hudson Valley is about as good as it gets for a drive — do yourself a favor and leave early.
Tickets & Pricing
Tickets go on sale Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT, priced $28.69–$33.84. A 300-cap room with a band at this level of momentum is not a night to procrastinate on.
