BLUES TRAVELER & BETH HART ADDED TO THE LINEUP
DANA POINT’S DOHENY BLUES FESTIVAL, MAY 19 & 20, 2018
SINGLE DAY TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!

[Dana Point, CA] – The DOHENY BLUES FESTIVAL is excited to reveal the second wave of artists performing at the 21st Annual event, taking place May 19 & 20 at Sea Terrace Park. Joining this year’s impressive lineup of previously announced acts, such as George Thorogood and Jimmie Vaughan, will be Grammy-winning blues band BLUES TRAVELER, blues-rock powerhouse BETH HART and many others. Single Day tickets are on sale now!

BLUES TRAVELER has a proven reputation for their improvisational live shows and tireless touring. Their music includes blues rock, psychedelic rock, folk rock, soul and southern rock. With a total of twelve studio albums – four gold, three platinum, and one six-times platinum – they have sold more than 10 million combined units worldwide, and played over 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people. Their hit ‘Run-Around’ is the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history and earned them a GRAMMY® for Best Rock Performance in 1996.

BETH HART is on fire right now. The Grammy-nominated blues rocker is riding a creative tidal wave, firing out acclaimed albums, hooking up with the biggest names in music as a head-turning vocalist for guitar heroes like Joe Bonamassa and Jeff Beck, and rocking the house each night with that celebrated burnt-honey voice. Every live performance gets a standing ovation because no one knows how to rock the house better than Beth Hart.

Joining Blues Traveler and Beth Hart is New Orleans’ ANDERS OSBORNE, blues-rock guitarist ERIC GALES, “The Southern Fireball” NIKKI HILL, and KNOCK-OUT GREG & THE JUKES. The full lineup will be revealed in the next few weeks and will include a very special guest announcement! The festival will feature three stages of alternating music with 20+ performances throughout the weekend.
