Biography
Daring Greatly is a harmony-driven rock band from Southern California blending roots, classic rock, and country influences with rich vocal harmonies and high-energy live performances. Their original music explores themes of introspection, time, existence, and connection with an authentic, grounded approach.
The band began with brothers Patrick and Liam Croome, who met drummer and vocalist Brayden Tario in high school. They played hockey with and against each other before taking songs into their parents’ basement. That foundation grew into Daring Greatly, formed in Calgary in 2015. After relocating to Southern California, the lineup was completed by Jeff and Brendan.
Their 2025 album Let It Ride featured the standout track “Lucid Ride,” which won Best Rock Song at the San Diego Music Awards in May 2026 — the second consecutive year. In April 2026, they released a rock ‘n’ roll take on David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” with driving guitars, stacked harmonies, piano, and organ.
May 2026 marked a significant organic spike when a series of genuine POV Reels capturing the band singing tight harmonies from inside their tour van went viral on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. The videos accumulated millions of views and engagement, including one with 68,000 likes. This led to approximately 80,000 new combined followers, over 7.5 million total views in roughly 30 days, and an 82% increase in Instagram followers. The legendary band America commented on one of the clips: “Beautifully done. The beach in the back was a great touch.”
Staying rooted in gratitude and real fan connection, the band continues to build momentum through authentic music and moments.

““...DG, as their large and loyal fan base lovingly refers to them, is a band that’s not afraid of breaking the modern trends in their performances and productions. Far from forced, these talented musicians flow and lean into the Rock n’ Roll vibes of yesteryears..."” - Meesha De Rumi D
“... their vocal harmonies are unsurpassed and on par with anything coming out of Hollywood, Memphis or Nashville. And these are not autotune harmonies by the way, these are the real deal. Real harmonies are not perfect, they fluctuate minutely and create an organic resonation that cannot be created digitally. This resonation is beautiful, and Daring Greatly has mastered it.."” - Vince Meehan
