Off Kilter performing live

Off Kilter is a fast paced, progressive, Celtic-rock band that blends many different styles of music into one undefinable sound. Consisting of five members from ethnically diverse backgrounds, Off Kilter brings a new twist to Celtic music. Off Kilter was formed in 1997,1 and has been performing regularly at Epcot ever since. Their first album, Off Kilter included some traditional songs like "Dirty Old Town" and "Fields of Athenry". Following these recordings, the band has included several popular tunes in their live shows at Epcot, such as "Johnny B. Goode", "Takin' Care of Business" and "Summer of '69."2
