Originally from Calgary, Alberta and now based in Southern California, Daring Greatly has spent the last decade carving out a harmony-forward country rock sound rooted in classic songwriting and road-tested chemistry. Since arriving in San Diego in 2015, the band has grown from Canadian transplants into one of the Southwest’s most respected independent touring acts.
Formed by brothers Patrick and Liam Croome alongside drummer and longtime friend Brayden Tario, Daring Greatly blends three-part vocal arrangements with driving guitars and thoughtful, lived-in lyrics. Their sound nods to artists like the Eagles and Jackson Browne while staying firmly grounded in their own modern identity.
Following the release of their 2025 EP Let It Ride, the band continued building momentum with their latest single, “Oh, Brother.” The track reflects the heart of Daring Greatly’s story, brotherhood, resilience, and the long road between where you started and where you’re headed. It captures the emotional throughline that has defined their music from the beginning: honest songwriting delivered with conviction and craft.
Touring relentlessly across North America and operating fully independent, Daring Greatly continues to expand their audience the old-fashioned way, one city, one song, one connection at a time.
Patch, a Canadian musician and member of Daring Greatly, brings road-tested grit and seasoned musicianship. Maggi, a Southern California–based actress and singer, adds expressive storytelling and emotional nuance.
Their debut release, Chicago Blue, was written as a 60th anniversary gift for Maggi’s grandparents, a tribute to enduring love. That spirit continues to shape their songwriting, inspired in part by their own relationship, which began in 2021.
Together, Patch & Maggi create heartfelt, harmony-driven music built on connection.
