Daring Greatly, formed in 2015, are Canadian rockers now thriving in Southern California who quickly garnered a following for their captivating harmonies and innovative sound. The band is led by two brothers, Patrick and Liam Croome, who share lead vocals, alongside drummer Brayden Tario. The trio has been crafting music together since their early days jamming in their parents' basement in Calgary, Alberta. Joined by Brendan Cutrer (bass) and Jeff Starkey (electric guitar), Daring Greatly blends elements of classic rock, soulful country, and Americana into a distinctive style that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Their music, rooted in themes of courage, vulnerability, and personal freedom, has earned them accolades such as "Song of the Year" at the San Diego Music Awards for their hit "Never A Goodbye."
Since their inception, Daring Greatly has become known for their electrifying live performances and powerful three-part harmonies. They have shared stages with renowned artists such as Bon Jovi and Young the Giant, while headlining major venues across Canada and the U.S. Most recently, they opened for The Plain White T's at the iconic Rady Shell in San Diego, further solidifying their reputation as a must-see live act. With four independently released albums and a highly anticipated EP set to debut in early 2025, Daring Greatly continues to inspire audiences with their heartfelt lyrics, innovative sound, and unwavering mission to encourage others to "dare greatly."
The Saint Cecilia
From the outside, Saint Cecilia is a collection of emotional images, love, art, power, passion, lust and verve. They are a driven and unique band from all over the northern hemisphere. In a time that names like Bowie, Hendrix, Brown and Morrison still generate mystery, they mean very little to the musical charts. Actually at a time that music itself seems to mean little to the those charts… Saint Cecilia arrives on fire and ready to shake up and wake up a somewhat sleepy musical world.
Yes, they rock and yes, they play, microphones, guitars, bass, drums and whatever else it takes to make music with heart, sparks, rhythm and soul.
If you’ve been missing, moving, grooving and just getting out and living hard, fun and full, you’ve just found your new soundtrack, dig in and get ready for one hell of a ride… Saint Cecilia are not only the patron saints of music, they are the saints of the musical life!
