New duo Seaforth (Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson) has signed a deal with RCA Records Nashville. They are slated to open for new labelmate Kane Brown at the Budweiser One Night Only concert series next Wednesday (Nov. 7) at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

“Nashville is the international home for the sound we’re making,” said Jordan. “From the day we wrote our first song together — a song that was organic and guitar-based, but also very modern in its approach — we knew we needed to be here. It’s a dream come true.”

“We both complement each other in this band,” said Thompson. “We have the kind of partnership where we both have our own personas, and we meet in the middle. The ship wouldn’t sail without both of us.”

The Aussie duo grew up in the same Sydney suburb as childhood friends, crossing paths for the first time as three-year-olds and sharing everything from soccer games to high school classes during the years that followed. The two, who took their name from the suburb where they grew up, are currently working on their debut project with producer Dann Huff.
