Folk and Americana band The Unfaithful Servants released their long-awaited second album Fallen Angel on October 17, 2025. Hailed as “Canada’s most exciting Newgrass band” by Seaside Music Festival, the Vancouver Island group has built a reputation for captivating live performances, rich storytelling, and masterful musicianship. Their sound blends elements of bluegrass, traditional folk, and Americana into an energetic and infectious acoustic style that has earned them acclaim across British Columbia and beyond. The band features mandolinist Jesse Cobb, a Grammy-nominated founding member of The Infamous Stringdusters who has shared stages with Béla Fleck and Lee Ann Womack, and singer-songwriter Dylan Stone, a modern troubadour known for performances alongside Keith Urban and Lou Reed. They are joined by fiddle virtuoso Quin Etheridge-Pedden and bassist Mark Johnson. SWOMP caught up with Stone for an interview. The Servants’ 2019 debut, produced by Grammy winner Steve Smith, introduced their dynamic mix of bluegrass, folk, and rock, establishing them as innovators in Canada’s roots scene. With Fallen Angel, the group continues to expand their sound and explore new creative territory while maintaining the high-energy performances that have earned them spots at Vancouver Island MusicFest, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues, and a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination.
