Off Kilter

According to the official Live E page it appears that Off Kilter is performing at Celebration Plaza on Labor Day weekend. I assume this is the same group that used to perform at Epcot?

Who are they?

They used to play at the Canada pavilion in Epcot until September of last year. It looks like they still tour as a group.

Enjoyed watching them many times at Epcot, if it is the same group ill try and catch a show at CP this year.

Holy crap... they are amazeballs. Seriously, they're fantastic. I saw one of their last shows at Epcot, and the turnout for them was nuts. You literally could not get through Canada. They were a part of Epcot for so long, and I'm still bummed out that they're no longer there. If it were economical, I would be there for one of those shows.

That's a long trip up here to see them for sure, but I can't tell you how many times I have thought about driving down to Epcot. I'd be perfectly content with getting a pizza from Via Napoli, grab a Casablanca from Morocco, and just wander World Showcase until Illuminations starts.

So they play Irish music, going by the name and costumes? Never heard of them before, but it looks pretty cool. I've been to a number of Irish festivals and some of the better bands ( New Barleycorn or Bridgid's Cross) are a blast to watch.

This is a must-see event. I can't adequately describe with words just how awesome Off Kilter is.

Wow... look at the crowd at 25:20. That's insane. You have to wonder, did anyone there think, gosh, are we making a mistake here? I don't know if they ended the run out of a contract dispute, the desire to do something different, the band was just done, or what, but it was a hell of a run. As a full-time musician, gigs like that are few and far between.

Would there be a chance of Cedar Point picking them up as a resident band? It would be somewhat unusual for Cedar Point but it wouldn't be completely unprecedented within Cedar Fair. Knott's Berry Farm picked up the much-beloved Billy Hill and the Hillbillies (now Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies) when Disneyland dropped them recently. Maybe they could take up residence at Red Garter or something along those lines.

I doubt it. They're too good for a seasonal park.

Maybe the sound in the video is bad or maybe my computer speakers are shot or maybe my old ears have lost their sense of what sounds pleasant but I do not think I could take 30 minutes of that. It is just a lot of noise with an extra dose of cymbals thrown in for good measure.

You're definitely hearing something different than I have.

saw them many times before they made it big,used to videotape them at local community festivals.

My wife saw them at one of the Cleveland area Irish festivals, but it was during the time they worked Epcot. I assume they toured on their breaks from there.

Off Kilter was awesome this weekend. I recognized quite a few songs from their Epcot shows. They brought a lot of genuine joy and energy with them. I really hope they come back again next year.

I'm super jealous of anyone who got to see them.

I saw them for a few minutes, it was cool to see something there on the stage. It is so sad seeing it all closed up at this time of the year!

It was pretty surreal seeing them play at CP after all the times I've seen them at EPCOT over the past years.

I really felt for them since they were giving it their all in the middle of a hot and humid day in direct sunshine. At Epcot they at least had some cover to go along with the Florida weather. The heat didn't slow them down though. Great energy!
