On July 28, 2023, renowned guitarist Orianthi captivated the crowds at Epcot in Walt Disney World with an electric live performance of her hit single "How Do You Sleep?" at the theme park's Flower and Garden Festival Eat to the Beat concert series.
The Australian rocker powered through the emotive rock ballad with her trademark energetic guitar solos and powerful vocals. "How Do You Sleep?" was originally released in 2019 as the lead single from Orianthi's album “O” and marked a shift to a more pop-oriented sound for the traditionally bluesy shredder.
Co-written by Orianthi, Tyler Johnson, and Emily Warren, "How Do You Sleep?" was inspired in part by Orianthi's 2018 breakup with rocker Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi fame. The lyrical content centers on feelings of anger and disbelief towards an ex who hurt you deeply but seems to be doing just fine. As Orianthi belts in the chorus, "How do you sleep when you lie to me?/All that shame and all that danger/I'm hoping that my love will keep you up tonight."
Bringing these raw emotions to life on the Epcot stage, Orianthi's passionate vocals and skilled guitar work enthralled the crowd. Her fingers flew across the frets during the solos as she paid tribute to her rock inspirations like Carlos Santana and Jimi Hendrix. The Eat to the Beat audience swayed and sang along during the huge pop hook "Hey, how do you sleep?" clearly connecting with the universal theme of heartbreak.
This marked Orianthi's first performance at Epcot's beloved annual Flower and Garden Festival. The lively concert coincided with the culinary delights and family fun of the outdoor festival celebrating the magic of nature. It was a match made in rock and roll heaven!
