Burlap To Cashmere Hosts Benefit

2002-01-01 - Critic and fan favorite Burlap To Cashmere recently hosted an artist showcase in its hometown of Brooklyn to benefit the families of restaurant workers who fell victim to Sept. 11's attacks on the World Trade Center. On Nov. 7 at Arlene's Grocery, just 20 blocks from what is known as 'Ground Zero', B2C donated their talent and time to perform for a packed venue of fans and music industry representatives. More than $1,800 was donated in response to the tragedy. 'Much tribute has been paid to the policemen, firemen and office workers, but not much has been said about those who served every day at the top,' says Burlap guitarist and vocalist Johnny Philippidis. 'Since most of the restaurant's staff were of Latin ethnicity like ourselves, we wanted to honor these heroes, as well.' B2C is currently in the studio working on its highly anticipated follow-up to its hugely successful debut, Anybody Out There.
