Cyndi Lauper will release the live concert DVD To Memphis, With Love on Megaforce Records on October 25th. To Memphis, With Love, taped earlier this year at The Warehouse in Memphis and featuring special guests including Allen Toussaint, Tracy Nelson and Jonny Lang, serves as Cyndi's love letter to the blues and the city that she has fallen in love with.
To Memphis, With Love will feature special, live concert performances of songs from Lauper's latest album, 2010's Grammy-nominated, best-selling blues album of 2010, Memphis Blues, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart and held the top spot for 14 weeks.
"If there's been a better blues album this year, it's a well-kept secret," remarked Newsweek Magazine, "It takes guts for a singer to walk onto territory once owned by Memphis Minnie, but Lauper pulls it off like a woman who knows everything there is to know about having fun with the blues."
Lauper's blues-focused live performances have won over audiences and critics alike. The New York Post raved, "She belted blues classics like she was born on the Delta rather than in Queens. With grit in her voice and swagger in her stage presence… Lauper's set never faltered and she didn't lack for classic material. She was killer."
Additionally, this fall Lauper will embark a co-headlining tour with New Orleans music legend Dr. John, titled "Cyndi Lauper & Dr. John: From Memphis to Mardi Gras." The 14-city tour will kick off October 7th at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida and wrap up October 28th at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Illinois.
