What is less common is witnessing how their simple meeting at a Nashville club turned out to be a perfect fit, and how the spontaneous combustion from two perfectly matched talents deciding to share their dream resulted in the formation of Nashville's hottest new indie duo, SOUTH OF EDEN.
Mitch released two albums on a major label and scored three Top-20 hits. Malloy was tempted by the possibility of fronting the third incarnation of legendary group Van Halen and went so far as to accept an invitation from Eddie Van Halen to record a series of demos with the band – who could pass up that opportunity?
However, Nashville producers offered him to make it real his bigger dream : writing, performing and producing americana music.
Mitch wrote songs with and for Dennis Morgan, Desmond Child, Mike Reid, David Rosenthal to name a few.
Casey Thompson also had to pull up the small town roots of Marion, Ohio, to chase her dream of making it as a performing artist. She entered a reality contest sponsored by the NBC “Today” show entitled, “Today’s Next Superstar” and found herself handpicked by NBC producers and Warner Brothers Music as one of only seven contestants to compete for the title of America’s next singing sensation. Casey placed third in the competition, but still found herself with national press exposure and the chance to work with talents like musical director Jim Brickman and Grammy award-winning producer Guy Roche.
Today, Mitch Malloy and Casey Thompson are chasing their dream together as SOUTH OF EDEN. And from the overwhelming reactions they are getting from both fans and the industry, it’s already a dream come true. Their live performances introduce you to a vocal blend that is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins.
A really cool album, refreshing, Country-Rock-Americana tingled yes, but extremely melodic.
