Originally formed in Calgary, Alberta and now based in Southern California, Daring Greatly is a Canadian-American five-piece rock n’ roll band rooted in the songwriting and vocal traditions of the ’60s and ’70s, carried forward with a powerful modern sound. Founding members Patrick Croome, Liam Croome and Brayden Tario are joined by American members Jeff Starkey and Brendan Cutrer. Much of their music begins with an acoustic guitar, a melody and a lyric before expanding into driving rhythms, piano and organ, commanding electric guitar, and the signature “blood harmony” of brothers Patrick and Liam, joined by Brayden’s third voice. More than a decade on the road has also shaped Daring Greatly into a band that knows how to stretch out. Their live show moves naturally between tightly arranged three-part vocals, extended guitar solos and spontaneous jams, bringing together the vocal richness of the Eagles or CSN, the musical freedom of the Allman Brothers Band and the weight of Led Zeppelin, all with a contemporary rock edge. With 1,000+ performances across the U.S. and Canada, Daring Greatly has shared stages with Bon Jovi, The Doobie Brothers, Midland, Young the Giant, Lainey Wilson and more, while earning multiple San Diego Music Award wins and nominations. The band has independently released five albums and continues to be prolific, releasing an EP and multiple singles over the past year alone, including “Nowhere to Run” and their latest, “August Nights.” In 2026, they also completed their largest tour to date, a 35-date run across the U.S. and Canada. Still fiercely independent, Daring Greatly continues to write, record, release and tour on its own terms, more than a decade after first setting out to do exactly that.

Dubbed "the future of classic country" by Saving Country Music, Kimmi Bitter has emerged as a leading voice of the New Countrypolitan sound. By fusing the golden-era spirit with West Coast energy, her blend of 1960s Nashville grandeur, surf-soaked guitar tones, and mod aesthetics has earned her a devoted following across the country. Often described as Patsy Cline set against a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack, Bitter’s music evokes a midcentury California dream – cinematic, timeless, and transportive. A fast-rising force in Americana, Bitter first turned heads with her acclaimed 2024 debut, Old School. The album quickly broke into the Top 25 Americana Album Radio Chart and held the No. 1 spot on the Alt. Country Speciality Chart for four consecutive weeks. It was also featured in Billboard’s “8 Must-Hear New Country Songs” and named one of Whiskey Riff’s Top Debut Albums. The release earned eight award nominations, culminating in three San Diego Music Awards, including Best Country Album (2025), along with back-to-back Song of the Year wins (2024 & 2025). Her live performances have since been praised as “one of the biggest takeaways” at both Austin’s SXSW and Nashville’s AmericanaFest. Now, Bitter returns with her highly anticipated sophomore album, Bittersweet, arriving summer 2026. A sun-faded West Coast Countrypolitan record inspired by Pacific coastlines, mod glamour, and the psychedelic desert haze of the 1960s. Across 13-tracks, the album unfolds in two acts, moving from breezy, Countrypolitan warmth into desert-noir twilight. Distinctively her own, it is both a continuation of Bitter’s vintage-rooted vision and a bold expansion of the world she’s built. Backed by her band, The Westside Twang, Kimmi Bitter is no longer simply reviving a classic sound; she is redefining it for a new era. With a rapidly expanding audience, a singular artistic identity, and a vision that reaches far beyond nostalgia, Kimmi Bitter stands at the forefront of modern classic country.
