	Classic artists come to Blues Festival By Michelle Devera Daily Forty-Niner With headlining acts such as John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy, the Long Beach Blues Festival is sure to be a blues fan's dream. "It's the best line-up we've ever had," said Gary "The Wagman" Wagner, KLON disc jockey and event host.  The festival, which will be held Labor Day weekend on the athletic field, is a fund raiser for KLON 88.1 FM, a public jazz radio station located on Upper Campus. More than 30,000 people attended last year's event, raising more than $200,000 for the station, said Gary Chiachi, KLON events coordinator and festival producer.  The three-day bash will showcase 24 legendary blues artists. Guitar Shorty and Sonny Rhodes will kick off Saturday's musical line-up with Guy capping the day's performances. On Sunday, Al Green, Clarence Carter and Bobby "Blue" Bland will dominate the stage, treating audiences to the soul-filled guitar and vocal sounds unique to the genre. Hooker, Joe Louis Walker and Snooky Pryor will close out the festival on Labor Day. A three-day pass is $70 in advance. Day tickets are $27 in advance or $30 at the gate.
