Burlap To Cashmere
Folk
Cousins John Philippidis and Steven Delopoulos formed BURLAP TO CASHMERE in 1994 as a college theater show. In 1995, the band started playing at The Bitter End regularly. After four years as a band, Burlap signed to A&M Records and released the full length album Anybody Out There? The album included singles “Basic Instructions” and “Treasures in Heaven.”
The band toured in support of the release for several years and in 2007, Burlap to Cashmere toured with Jars of Clay and NEEDTOBREATHE. The same year they signed with Sony Music Entertainment and recorded with Mitchell Froom. Their next record is set to be released on July 19 of this year. Delopoulos released two albums of his solo work and Phillippidis has toured with band Tamarama.

“Burlap to Cashmere has a distinct sound made up of folk music combined with arrangements full of flamenco guitar, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and old-world Greek bazouki.” - Christianmusic.com
