DARING GREATLY has earned every mile the hard way, touring relentlessly from intimate listening rooms to festival stages and building a loyal audience city by city across Canada and the U.S. for over a decade.
Originally from Calgary, Alberta and now based in Southern California, the band was formed in 2014 by brothers Patrick and Liam Croome alongside longtime friend Brayden Tario. Their sound blends classic rock, Americana, soul, and country, grounded in strong melodies, honest lyrics, and three-part harmonies that feel lived in and real.
Patrick (vocals, guitar) and Liam (vocals, keys) bring a natural brotherly connection, while Brayden (drums, vocals) anchors the rhythm with feel and drive. Joined by Jeff Starkey (electric guitar) and Brendan Cutrer (bass), the band moves between restraint and power, creating dynamic shows that leave space for moments to land.
Their 2025 EP Let It Ride marked a clear evolution, balancing high-energy roots rock with more reflective songwriting. That thread continues through recent releases like “Oh, Brother” and “Never Gone,” where the focus stays on feel, honesty, and connection.
At the center are the vocals. Three distinct voices locked together naturally, surrounded by driving rock, quiet ballads, and moments that open up on their own.
They’ve always leaned into it, whatever “it” is at the time, and trusted the outcome. Daring Greatly continues to inspire fans to live boldly and authentically—staying true to their name.
All music is independently written, recorded, and produced—without the backing of a label or management team.
