Don’t ask what time, just show up

In the heart of Vashon Island, where the trees breathe rhythm and the tides hum harmony, Trolls Cottage has become more than just a band—they’re part of the island’s soul. Made up of lifelong friends Jacob Bain, Gabriel Blake, Mike Marlatt, Earl Clay, and Erik Reimnitz, their music carries the spirit of shared bonfires, spontaneous porch jams, and decades of growing up together in the woods.

Rooted in acoustic reggae and layered with heartfelt lyrics, their songs reflect the textures of island life: ferry rides at sunset, Lisabuela summers, and rainy walks through Island Center Forest. From the stage at Ober Park to your neighbor's backyard, Trolls Cottage plays for friends, family, and everyone who calls this place home.

Their melodies aren’t just catchy—they’re built from shared memories, conversations around kitchen tables, and the everyday magic of living in a place where strangers quickly become kin. Each performance feels like a reunion, their lyrics like letters to loved ones scattered across the island.

Trolls Cottage isn’t chasing charts—they’re nurturing roots. Vashon raised them, and in return, they play for the community that’s always had their back.
