Burlap To Cashmere

Burlap to Cashmere was founded in Brooklyn, summer of '95, when Manager Jamison Ernest discovered cousins John Philippidis and Steven DeLopoulos playing in a coffee house.

Later, lifelong friends Mike Ernest (guitar), Theodore Pagano (drums), Roby Guarnera (bass), and Josh Zandman (key boards) joined. Lastly, Percussionist Scott Barksdale answered an ad in the paper to complete the band.

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.
