2007 Long Beach Blues Festival.
When selecting artists to appear at the festival this year, the
goal was to invite performers who have been instrumental in the
history of the previous Long Beach Blues Festivals... the legends
of Blues & Soul
music.
With that in mind, we are honored to announce the headliners for
the 2007 Long Beach Blues Festival:
- Buddy Guy
- Little Richard
- The Robert Cray Band
- Dr. John
- Taj Mahal and the Phantom Blues Band
- Koko Taylor & Her Blues Machine
