Thank you for returning to our series, 30 Days to 30 Years. Beth (Pursuing the Magic and Magical Blogorail creator) and I have been thrilled to read the Disney fan posts to date. If you are just joining us on our nostalgic journey through the last 30 years of Epcot, please click on our button for the archives. Today we are thrilled to welcome Amy of Growing Up Disney and the year 1997. Strike up the band!
1997 was Epcot’s greatest year because that’s when they hired Off Kilter. Ok, so that’s a stretch but the band is one of my favorite things about my favorite park.
Check out the Off Kilter website to hear more music, read bios on the band members, see available merchandise, etc. Randy Holbrook is the lead guitarist and I discovered that he plays not only with Off Kilter but also with a New Age band and in a show at Sea World. If you look through my photos of the group, you’ll notice a few new faces. Since it’s a regular five day a week gig, from time to time, someone is sick or on vacation and another musician will take his place.

Yes, I totally ripped this off their site. Screenshot! |
I couldn't agree more Amy- the highlight of 1997 WAS Off Kilter!! Since then, every trip must include them (and their CDs). I learned so much about them today- thank you for sharing these wonderful memories!!
Thanks for including me!
So grateful Amy!
I've only heard Off Kilter in passing. I really do need to stop and give a listen.
I worked special events at Epcot when Off Kilter got their start. Good times! Thanks for the memories.
How fabulous! I walked past the Canada Pavilion just last week and couldn’t help but think of them- there has been nothing on that stage to come close to their talent!
