DANA POINT, CA. (Top40 Charts/
Omega Events) -
Omega Events announces the line-up for the 12th Annual Doheny Blues Festival, scheduled for May 16 & 17. The nationally-recognized music festival celebrates the best of Blues, R&B and
Roots music on the beach in South
Orange County, CA.
As Omega Events President, Rich Sherman explains, "DOHENY BLUES is proud to have hosted a who's who of music: Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, John Fogerty, Etta James and Al Green. This year's line-up continues in this tradition by headlining with two icons of American music."
B.B. King is the undisputed, worldwide King of the Blues, a 15-time Grammy Award(R) Winner. Brian Setzer has been the leader of two popular music revivals: Rockabilly, with his chart-topping band The Stray Cats; and swing music, with Brian Setzer and his rockin' Orchestra.
Sherman adds "We have always looked to the future when programming Doheny Blues, and this year is no exception with The Derek Trucks Band, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Grace Potter & The Nocturnals."
