Joan Osborne and Anders Osborne (no relation) will perform at a benefit for the Blue Rose Foundation taking place at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, Oct. 18.

Tickets, priced from $20 to $300, go on sale Aug. 4 at noon; visit countbasietheatre.org.
The Blue Rose Foundation is based in California, and according to its web site, it “was created to honor the memories of our family members, friends, teachers, and mentors. To pay tribute to those who inspired us, we support programs that give children the ability to reach new heights of success. Reaching at-risk children early is critical to this success. Nobel Prize-winning Professor of Economics James Heckman has demonstrated that investing in pre-kindergarten programs for disadvantaged children provides a significant return on investment to society, improving literacy, high school graduation and employment rates, as well as reducing delinquency and violence.”
