Cyndi Lauper Kicks Off International “Detour” Tour In Nashville

Music icon Cyndi Lauper will take a southern “DETOUR” across the U.S. and Europe during her 2016 tour as the Grammy, Emmy and Tony-winning singer-songwriter promotes her upcoming country record. The 27-city tour kicks off in Nashville, Tennessee at the Ryman Auditorium. (See tour dates below).

“DETOUR”, available May 6th, includes her signature spin on a dozen classics from the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Growing up, Lauper recalls listening to country music on her Aunt Gracie’s kitchen radio…

When I was a really young kid, country music was pop music, so this is what we grew up listening to. These songs are part of some of my earliest memories so it has been an absolute thrill to revisit them.”

The tour will feature guest appearances from country music stars Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, and Willie Nelson. Lauper recorded the album in Nashville alongside a band comprised of the city’s top session players.
