The last time the Blue Rose, artist Stanley Mouse’s iconic image, made its appearance was on the poster for the farewell concert of the famed San Francisco ice-rink-turned-venue Winterland Ballroom at a show headlined by the Grateful Dead. This week, the Blue Rose image, and a host of talented musicians, many with Dead connections, appears for the first annual Blue Rose Ball, benefiting the Joseph Capone Scholarship Fund at the Old Adobe School. The Blue Rose Ball boasts a stellar lineup of performers, including Steve Forbert, Mark Karan, Josh Joplin, Jason Crosby and many others, and takes place on Saturday, June 14, at Sebastiani Theatre, 476 First St. E., Sonoma. 8pm. $100. 707.996.9756.
