Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic Seminars and Musical Line-Ups Announced

Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic Seminars and musical line-ups announced! In just a month, the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic kicks off at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin. Today, the musical line-up and interactive seminar offerings for the ninth annual festival were announced for the festival beginning on October 26 to 28. For the first time, the event will be expanding its live entertainment offerings beyond the main stage and into several of its themed areas.

New musical performers will add to the immersive environments of three of the themed sections, each selected to perfectly match the unique tastes and décor of the area. The acts making their festival debuts this year include:

• Manureva, a family group, will perform authentic songs and melodies from Polynesia in the new luau-themed area, The Pig & The Poke
• Vintage Vibe, a group of renegade musicians who reimagine songs from a variety of genres into the smooth, lavish sounds of the 1920s and ‘30s, will be in the Bubble Lounge
• Singer-guitarist-songwriter Harry “Captain Henry” Hann will play a blend of rock, soul, jazz and reggae – a style he calls Floribbean – in the Beer Garden.

Returning to the Dolphin clamshell fountain main stage for both nights are festival favorites:

• Epic, performing today’s best dance, pop and party rock music
• 501 Blues, playing the top blues, soul and classic rock hits from the past 40 years
• Atlantic City Boys, featuring the rock ‘n’ roll harmonies of the Beach Boys, Drifters, the BeeGees and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
