DANA POINT, Calif., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
