Our Story: Billy & Erica


We moved to Northern California in 2020 and really enjoyed hosting ​friends for small house concerts in our apartment in Davis. Billy

is a composer and pianist originally from Cincinnati and house ​concerts provided a way for us both to meet neighbors and new friends ​though the joy of making music.


When we started hunting for a house to buy, concert space was high on ​our priority list. From the first moment we saw this historic bungalow ​in Woodland with its lovely backyard garden, we knew it was our “Blue ​Rose.” For Erica, blue roses always remind her of the china pattern on ​her grandmother’s dishes, fancy yet familiar. For Billy, the blue rose ​symbolizes a sort of supernatural beauty associated with creativity ​and a fascination with unknown possibilities, à la David Lynch. Events ​at the Blue Rose are familiar yet extraordinary. So come on in, make ​yourself at home, and get ready for a rare and beautiful experience...
