Seattle band Norman Baker & The Backroads is known for traveling to as many communities as possible to share its signature brand of music and stories of the road. The band will come to Vashon to play a show at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Red Bike.

Pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, upright bass, clarinet and acoustic and electric guitars make up the band’s instruments while the harmonies of Baker and longtime bandmate Michael Muir weave through the group’s rootsy compositions.

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