Bywater Call release “For All We Know” video

Following their February 2023 UK tour supporting Robert Jon & The Wreck, and the July 26th release of their newest acclaimed single, “Sweet Maria”, rising Canadian southern soul, roots rock band Bywater Call release a new single “For All We Know” on Wednesday, September 6th.  The single is available on all streaming platforms.  The single is accompanied by an official music video.

For All We Know” precedes Bywater Call’s upcoming November/December USA tour dates. The band tour the Eastern US from November 27 to December 18th. Tickets for all concerts are available (announced tour dates listed below, more dates coming soon).

“For All We Know” is a rootsy, Americana-inspired tune about listening to your inner voice and taking chances on your hopes and dreams, no matter what obstacles, internal and external, may lie in the way.  Through lyrics, vocals and form, the song progresses from stripped down, delicate and questioning, to full, joyous and celebratory.  “For All We Know” takes the listener on a journey, opening with beautiful acoustic guitar picking from Dave Barnes and a soft, exposed vocal from Meghan Parnell, building to a strong, full band, driving finale, representing the courage, strength and satisfaction in self-knowledge and self-actualization.

“For All We Know” was filmed and recorded at friend, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Howley’s beautiful barn studio in the country of Ontario, Canada, where he acted as engineer.  Bass (Mike Meusel), drums (Bruce McCarthy), horns (Julian Nalli, sax and Stephen Dyte, trumpet) and keys (John Kervin) were captured live-off-the-floor.  Overdubs including background vocals from Claire Davis and Joanna Mohammed (Aphrose) were captured at drummer Bruce McCarthy’s home studio, The Beat Farm, where he also acted as mixing engineer.  Video team Lightning House Media out of Hamilton, Ontario, joined the band for the recording session, capturing an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at a unique recording process, followed by a live performance as the sun was setting.

“For All We Know” is Bywater Call’s second single following their highly anticipated sophomore album, Remain, released in September 2022, which is available now on all streaming platforms and for purchase in CD and Vinyl formats
