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.
