Hidden City Sounds: Daring Greatly with Special Guests Lonesome Roses

DARING GREATLY is a harmony-driven rock band originally from Calgary, Alberta, now based in Southern California. Blending classic 70s rock with modern soul, folk, and country influences, the band is known for their powerful three-part vocal harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and energetic live shows. The group consists of Patrick Croome (vocals, guitar), Liam Croome (vocals, keys), Brayden Tario (drums, vocals), Jeff Starkey (electric guitar), and Brendan Cutrer (bass).
Formed in 2015, Daring Greatly has built a loyal grassroots following through years of consistent touring across Canada and the U.S., sharing stages with acts like Bon Jovi, The Doobie Brothers, Sublime, Midland, and The Struts. They’ve also opened for Plain White T’s and performed at standout festivals including the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, MissionFest in San Juan Capistrano, and Wonderfront in San Diego.
Their latest EP, “Let It Ride” (2025), features five original tracks including “Trouble” and “Something Coming On,”showcasing the band’s evolution with themes of change, love, and personal freedom. All music is independently written, recorded, and produced—without the backing of a label or management team.
With four full-length albums and a fresh wave of music on the way, Daring Greatly continues to inspire fans to live boldly and authentically—staying true to their name.
