    The 11th Anniversary of Doheny Blues!
    Omega Events is proud to announce that nine-time Grammy Award Winner BONNIE RAITT will headline the 2008 Doheny Blues Festival. As a lifelong environmental activist and inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, we are honored that Raitt has agreed to appear at Doheny State Beach. Led by John Cleary on keys, Raitt's festival performances are always rockin'... and quite rare!

    Joining Bonnie will be Jonny... as in young guitarist & singer JONNY LANG, making his first appearance at Doheny since 2003. Lang burst onto the music scene in 1996 at the age of 15, capturing critical acclaim and worldwide fans. Over a decade later, at the age of 27, Lang has matured into a top live performer, blending blues, funk and rock, while continuing to develop his guitar work and trademark vocals.
    Come for the music... enjoy it all!
    Microbrew Tasting at The Backporch!
    Sample some fine beers while enjoying acoustic blues music - 3 small glasses for only $10. Microbrew tasting is open from 11 am - 6 pm.

    International Food Court & Vendor Village
    Blues music and tasty food... it's an American tradition. The Doheny food court will have 15 vendors serving their eclectic menus, everything from BBQ to Greek to vegetarian. After lunch, browse through the 50+ vendor booths throughout the festival grounds.

    Ellie's Incredible Merchandise Booth
    We defy any festival to match their t-shirt booth to Doheny's. Last year, Ellie's team created 100+ items for the Official Merchandise Booth... t-shirts, ladies tops, posters, golf apparel, beach bags, lapel pins, sharpies, you name it - they printed it. Don't miss the mad dash on Saturday morning.
