Background

Cousins Steven Delopoulos and John Philippidis were performing in a New Jersey coffeehouse when they were "discovered" by manager Jamison Ernest. The Brooklyn based cousins then assembled a larger band under the name "Burlap to Cashmere", recruiting guitarist Mike Ernest, bassist Roby Guarnera, keyboardist Josh Zandman, drummer Theodore Pagano and percussionist Scott Barksdale. The group drew on a wide range of musical styles and influences, but their signature sound was rooted in lightning-fast acoustic guitar rhythms. The band began performing in local New York-area venues, and quickly developed a cult following. In 1997, they independently released their first EP under the label Squint, Live at the Bitter End. In 1998 Burlap to Cashmere signed with A&M Records and released the full-length recording Anybody Out There?, followed by an A&M re-release of Live at the Bitter End. A&M Records is an American record label, owned and operated by Universal Music Group. ...


In 2003, Steven Delopoulos released the solo album Me Died Blue, and subsequently 1000 copies of a live recording titled Live at the Bluebird, released exclusively at tour shows. In 2004, the official website promoted "Steve and Johnny of Burlap to Cashmere" for several live performances, but the site has been dormant since.


Steven Delopoulos has a new solo album coming out in fall 2007, originally titled "As If Love Were A Sword," but changed to "Straightjacket" before release. He and Johnny are planning to make new music re-united as Burlap to Cashmere following that. A straitjacket is a garment shaped like a jacket with overlong sleeves. ...


There are upcoming Winter/Spring 2007 dates for Burlap to Cashmere touring with Jars of Clay and NEEDTOBREATHE. Steven Delopoulos and John Philippidis will be performing an acoustic set as a duo. The two currently put together a five piece group and are rumored to start recording a record in summer of 08. Jars of Clay is a rock band from Franklin, Tennessee. ...

Burlap to Cashmere's chemistry is kind of like their name-disparate textures that move from tension to transformation.
It's impossible to be grounded without hope." With each week of touring with Jars of Clay, Burlap's wowed audiences steadily increased the pace of the band's album sales, which led to an unprecedented week on the eve of 1999.
