Tom Yankton has entered into an exclusive distribution deal with Red Street Records. The Arkansas native is currently in the studio with producer Jimmy Ritchey with new music planned for release in August.

The son of a working-class family, his talent has led to tours and recording with artists like Chicago, Christina Aguilera, Rascal Flatts, and RaeLynn, among others. He has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, TODAY Show, The Grand Ole Opry, the ACM Awards, The Rolling Stones Zip Code Tour, and more. Yankton’s songs have appeared in Bad Mom’s Christmas, Lifetime’s Love At First Flight and Netflix’s Sex Education.

Hailing from Hot Springs, Yankton has been performing live across the U.S. with an eclectic stage show. His dynamic set earned him the winning slot at last month’s Pepsi Southern Original Contest, which enabled him to open for Luke Bryan at the rescheduled 2020 Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. Yankton also recently landed a residency at the Resorts World Casino complex in Las Vegas, which kicked off on July 20.

“I am beyond thrilled to have Tom In the Red Street family,” says Rascal Flatts member and Red Street Records CEO Jay DeMarcus. “He is an extremely exciting, talented artist. We pride ourselves here on finding the best of the best to partner with, and he certainly is.”

“I met Jay at an event in San Antonio Texas when I was 14 years old, and we got to jam out and play some music that night,” shares Yankton. “I never dreamed I’d get to work with Jay, Mark [Lusk], and the Red Street family on sharing my own music with the world. This is incredible!”
