I read a few post about this band. Where are they located in Epcot? Is it something you have to get tickets to in advance? When do they have show? I'm going down 8/31 to 9/9 and was hoping to see them.

They play on a stage in World Showcase, I believe near Canada. No tickets needed -- it's a "drop in when you want to" kind of thing. They perform throughout the day -- you can probably get a schedule that morning at Guest Relations.

Wait five minutes and WannaBeBelle (Marie) will drop in here and tell you everything you wanted to know about them. :lookaroun

My family loves Off Kilter! We just happened upon them on one of our previous trips about 7 years ago. We didn't get to see them on our last trip last July, but hope to see them in April. I don't know when they are there; I just hope we get lucky.

We did, however get to see The British Invasion. My daughter (DisneyChik17) and I are HUGE Beatles fans, so this was a treat for us. If you miss Off Kilter (hope you don't miss them; they are great), catch The British Invasion. They perform in the back of the UK pavillion in a beautiful garden.

Is it five minutes yet???? :ROFLOL: :ROFLOL: I am probably going to repeat some of the great information provided here but here goes:
Off Kilter is a Celtic Rock Band. They are pretty unique and have a VERY different take on many Celtic standards such as Fields Of Athenry, Danny Boy, Amazing Grace and many others. Also the band does write and perform some original songs such as Nothing Changes, Alive, And Like You among others. All of the guys are great musicians but Jamie Holton who plays the bagpipes ( Great Highland varety) is probably the most unique. He is a world class piper, and has won competitions all over the world. Yet somehow he finds a way to blend classical playing with a rock & roll undercurrent to make the music appealing to all generations. This aint your Daddy's Irish band!!!
They play in the Canadian Pavilion on most days at the times listed by Swimmom. They are usually off on Fridays and Saturdays. Every once in a while they will be off on the occasional Tuesday for rehearsal so check your times guide to be certain. As previously mentioned by BrkgNews, They are a drop in when you can kind of show. Most shows of this type dont require tickets in Disneyworld. These shows are included in your admission to EPCOT. This particular band however is quite popular and has EXTREMELY limited seating so if you want a seat on a bench, get there early!!!!
In addition to Off Kilter there are several very good bands in World Showcase. I personally love the British Invasion and Mo'Rockin' as well.
Also if you get a chance while you are in MGM Studios, be sure to look up Mulch, Sweat & Shears. They are a band that is supposed to be a group of landscapers on a break from mowing lawns. They are trying to get a record deal so they are setting up stage to rock out for a while in hopes of getting a record executive to hear them. They play on the Streets of America by Youse Guys Moichandise most days at 11:35am, 12:40, 2:20, 3:30 & 5:15pm. They are off on Sunday and Mondays usually and will occasionally start later on some Wednesdays due to rehearsal time. Check with a Cast Member or Guest Relations to verify these times as their schedules are NEVER printed. Last I heard they were on the Times guides given to Cast Members however and Guest Relations always has the most updated schedule information.
Outside of Disney, the band goes by the name of Los Lawn Boys and their website can be found here: http://www.loslawnboys.com/

I have seen them play at like 3 Irish Fests in West Palm Beach. They are great performers, and SUCH nice guys! Talked with them after their set a few times very cool guys. My mom loved the drummer, he is Puerto Rican like her and they were like best buds cause not too many Puerto Ricans at Irish Fests, nevermind one in the band! hehe My dad is Puer Irish... total mutt, well I had a blast out last night! Happy late St.Paddy's everyone!

Hey there Goofy mom could that be Cyber Groove??? One of the guys from there has also played with Off Kilter as well!!! Charlie is the gentleman's name and he heads up that one the few times I have managed to catch them.
Hey Peaches the keyboard player is Tony Escapa II, He is the Puerto Rican guy in the band, the Drummer is Scotty Zymowski, I Am assuming that he is of Polish descent, altough he was born in Florida.
As far as off stage, yeah I have gotten as far as the front of the stage!!! All of the acts I have mentioned are amazingly classy gentleman who would never behave in such a manner. They are wonderful people who are always happy to pose with their fans for a picture or sign a CD purchased by a fan!! They are definitely an asset to WDW without a doubt!! Belle
