Who Ya Callin' Darlin'?

Darlin’ is a country duo made up of Chloe Byars and Sarah Royse, two singer-songwriters whose honest storytelling, rich harmonies, and undeniable chemistry have quickly earned them a growing audience. Originally from Texas and Oklahoma, the pair first met working at a taco shop while living in Oklahoma City before reconnecting years later in New York. What began as a friendship soon evolved into a creative partnership built on a shared love of country music and a passion for telling real stories through song.

 

Drawing inspiration from the storytelling traditions of artists like The Chicks, Miranda Lambert, and other strong female voices in country music, Darlin’ writes songs that explore heartbreak, resilience, hometown roots, love, and the often messy realities of chasing big dreams. Since forming the duo, Chloe and Sarah have written dozens of original songs together, developing a catalog that reflects both their individual experiences and the unique perspective they bring as lifelong friends and collaborators.

 

Now based in New York City, Darlin’ has become a familiar name in the city’s growing country music scene, performing multiple shows each week at venues throughout the area while building a loyal fanbase both online and in person. Their dynamic live performances blend heartfelt originals, seamless harmonies, and the natural camaraderie that comes from years of friendship.

 

As they continue to release new music, Darlin’ is expanding beyond New York with an upcoming tour through Oklahoma, Texas, Nashville, and beyond. With a debut project in the works and a rapidly growing audience, the duo is carving out their own lane in modern country music—bringing together the spirit of Oklahoma and Texas with the grit, ambition, and energy of New York City.
