About this concert
Daring Greatly is a dynamic rock band rooted in classic influences and built on powerful vocal harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and an unrelenting commitment to the road. Formed by Canadian-born brothers Patrick and Liam Croome, along with drummer and lifelong friend Brayden Tario, the band has grown into a powerful five-piece with the addition of Jeff Starkey on guitar and Brendan Cutrer on bass—solidifying their lineup after years of evolving members and sound.
Now based in Southern California, the band has made a name for themselves touring extensively across North America and adapting seamlessly to any stage. Their support history is a testament to their range—opening for country stars like Lainey Wilson, Rodney Atkins, and Midland, crossing into alt/indie territory with Young the Giant, and bringing their rock energy to lineups alongside Bon Jovi, Sublime with Rome, and Plain White T’s. The genres vary, but the connection is always there. The talent is undeniable.
Winners of Best Video and Best Rock/Indie Song at the 2025 San Diego Music Awards, and Song of the Year in 2023, Daring Greatly has also earned three consecutive nominations for Artist of the Year—cementing their presence in one of the country’s most competitive music scenes.
Still fully independent, the band operates without management or label—building everything themselves from the ground up. From tour booking and merch design to music production and promotion, it’s all done in-house. Not by choice, necessarily—they’ve simply never waited for permission to do the work.
Their new album, Let It Ride, arrives in 2025, capturing the raw honesty and momentum that’s carried them this far. This year’s tour across Canada and the U.S. marks a new chapter for the band—more focused, more fearless, and more unified than ever.

Daring Greatly Biography
Daring Greatly is a harmony-driven rock band that fuses ’70s-inspired grit, modern soul, and the storytelling roots of folk and country. Formed by brothers Patrick and Liam Croome, alongside drummer Brayden Tario, the band’s journey began when they left Calgary, Alberta in their early 20s, chasing a dream and leaving behind the familiar for the promise of something greater. With a fire in their hearts and a motorhome to call home, they hit the road to Southern California—only to watch that motorhome burn to the ground before their journey had truly begun.
Instead of giving up, they rebuilt. Fueled by resilience and a refusal to back down, they kept moving forward—learning how to adapt, grow, and survive on the road. They took every opportunity to make music, even recording a demo album with members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in Nashville during those early days. That spirit of tenacity and independence has never wavered.
With guitarist Jeff Starkey and bassist Brendan Cutrer adding new dimensions to their evolving sound, Daring Greatly has become known for their explosive live performances—taking audiences on a journey that seamlessly moves from anthemic rock and heartfelt ballads to high-energy jams. Their music blends classic rock spirit with the soul of folk and country, driven by soaring three-part harmonies and raw, honest emotion.
Their latest album, Let It Ride (January 2025), captures that signature blend of soulful rock ‘n’ roll, rich harmonies, and fearless songwriting. It follows four independently released records that showcase the band’s dedication to crafting authentic, timeless music. Recognized for their hard work and artistry, Daring Greatly has earned multiple San Diego Music Award nominations, including Artist of the Year (2024 & 2025), and shared the stage with acts like Bon Jovi, The Doobie Brothers, Sublime, and Plain White T’s.
No gimmicks—just real music, played with heart. Daring Greatly is more than just a band—it’s a story of brotherhood, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of the dream.
"When I first met them in Nashville, and heard them play and sing in the studio, I was truly impressed. They have a sound and a chemistry together that is unique and inspiring.” - Peter Keys of Lynyrd Skynyrd

Marcus King Band - Crosby Stills Nash & Young - America
“Their musicianship is incredible given their age, and their harmonies are as good as anyone I have ever heard. The industry has not heard an act like this for a very long time. I believe this talented group will be talked about in the same breath as the Eagles, and Crosby Stills Nash and Young- Seriously!” - Dave Temple – MCC Studios (CCMA studio of the year 2013, 2014)
