From Winchester to Country Radio: Hometown Artist Chris Darlington Makes History

Winchester has a proud musical history, and one local artist is making sure the Shenandoah Valley continues to have a place on the country music map.

Chris Darlington, an active Deputy Sheriff and Winchester native, is making country music history as the first active Deputy Sheriff to take a song to major country radio. Even more impressively, Darlington is only the second artist from Winchester to have a charted song since the legendary Patsy Cline.

For a hometown community, that is something worth celebrating.

Darlington has been working to build his career in country music while continuing to serve his community as a Deputy Sheriff—a combination that makes his journey especially unique.

Now, Winchester has an opportunity to help him take the next step.

Supporting a hometown artist can be as simple as listening to his music, playing his songs, following his page and sharing his music with friends and family. Every listen and share helps introduce his music to more people and can contribute to his momentum on the country charts.

Winchester has celebrated Patsy Cline's legacy for generations. Now, another hometown artist is working to make his own mark in country music.

Let’s show Chris Darlington that Winchester is behind him. Let’s listen, share and support one of our own—and help take him all the way to #1!
