While Halloween draws out the spooks and witches, the Vashon-born band Trolls Cottage brings out islanders who love to dance to the band’s blend of reggae, rock and world music.

Trolls Cottage invites islanders — in Halloween costume or not — to join them for a bewitching evening of music and dancing beginning at 9 p.m. Friday at the Red Bike.

The band has more than 10 years experience playing genre-blending music with thoughtful lyrics packaged into an energetic performance.

According to Vashon Events co-founder Pete Welch, Trolls Cottage typically “packs the house like no other bands have ever been able to, thanks to the warm welcome by friends and family that come out to support the hometown boys.”

Welch recommends early arrival for this popular band. Tickets are $8 at the door.

The show is open to all ages until 11 p.m., then only 21 and older.
