Daring Greatly

Daring Greatly, a heartfelt rock ensemble, came into being in 2014 amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Calgary, Alberta. Founded by the Croome brothers, Patrick and Liam, along with percussionist Brayden Tario, the group's origin story is marked by a profound connection to their Canadian heritage. Following an early journey of exploration, the band's path led them across landscapes before finding their musical haven in the vibrant city of San Diego. Over the span of eight transformative years, they've artfully crafted albums that not only embrace their Canadian roots but also intricately weave together the tapestry of American rock and country influences, resulting in a truly unique and captivating soundscape.

This potent blend of genres creates an auditory journey that feels both familiar and invigorating—a sonic testament that resonates deeply with all who encounter it. Their remarkable achievement of securing the 2023 San Diego Music Awards' "Song of the Year" distinction for their evocative track "Never A Goodbye" speaks volumes about their soul-stirring compositions and potent lyrical narratives. Furthermore, their nominations for "Best Rock Artist" and "Best Rock Album" underscore their ability to craft music that resonates on a profound level.

Central to the band's dynamic is the profound fraternal bond between the Croome brothers, whose on-stage chemistry is an enchanting sight to behold. Interchanging as lead vocalists, their voices intertwine flawlessly, bestowing audiences with a captivating and ever-evolving auditory journey. Drummer Brayden Tario, a lifelong confidant of the Croome brothers since their high school days, seamlessly complements their synergy with his rhythmic finesse. His percussive mastery not only anchors the band's rhythm but his harmonious vocals provide an ethereal counterpoint to the brothers' melodies—an extraordinary talent that is a rarity to find.

The evolution of Daring Greatly's lineup has played a pivotal role in shaping their identity. In 2019, the addition of electric guitarist David Mills injected a distinct Southern California flavor, infusing the music with vibrant guitar solos and inventive riffs. This infusion of energy revitalized the band's sonic landscape.

Venturing across stages far and wide, Daring Greatly's relentless dedication has seen them grace over 1,000 performances across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They've shared the spotlight with icons such as Zac Brown Band, Bon Jovi, and Young the Giant, leaving an indelible imprint on audiences. Even during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the band's resolve remained unshaken, as they streamed over 40 virtual concerts, amassing nearly 1 million views across various platforms
