Steven Delopoulos and I at The Cooker during an interview
I’ll never forget the first time I heard them play. It was GMA week – I forget the year – ’98? on stage at the Ryman auditorium. My jaw dropped to the ground and an über-fan was born. I listened to them, I watched them, I wrote about them and hung out with them on a few occasions. I was even asked for an endorsement for their album (see it here).
Led singer/songwriter Steven Delopoulos, Burlap to Cashmere began as college project with his talented cousin John Philippides. The sound, lyrics and energy was just what the Christian music industry needed, and thankfully they landed at Squint Entertainment (home to Sixpence None the Richer).
Life happened and the group disbanded. But thankfully they’ve come full circle as the news began to spread this week of a reunion. I know I’m not the only one feeling happy and nostalgic.
I will never forget being in your dad’s truck and you blasting BtC. You were their biggest fan and I still listen to their album. Hope they are just as good!
