Forgive me if I start humming “The Glamorous Life” or “I Do (Cherish You)” today. You can blame Epcot’s Eat to the Beat concert series and two of its brand-new performers, Sheila E and 98 Degrees. They will be coming to Walt Disney World this fall as part of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.
Other Eat to the Beat newbies include Glass Tiger, MercyMe and Tauren Wells, although there are still six slots to be filled in the 32-act event spread from Aug. 30 to Nov. 12.
Acts that have become Epcot staples are returning, including Hanson, Boyz II Men (Oops, there goes “The End of the Road” in my head), Billy Ocean, Starship, Taylor Dayne and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy capping off the fest.
