Crystal Garden & DMB’s Boyd Tinsley On The Road

With Dave Matthews Band taking a break from touring in 2017, it gives Boyd Tinsley time to do his own thing. The violinist/mandolinist is headed to U.S. venues this spring with Crystal Garden. 

– Boyd Tinsley of Dave Matthews Band
“NCAA Big Dance,” Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta, Ga.

The group is described as the brainchild of Tinsley, who spend two years searching out “the right group of musicians to form a modern day rock band.” The lineup features Mycle Wastman on vocals, Charlie Csontos on bass, Matt Frewen on drums, and James Frost-Winn on trumpet.

Tinsley produced Crystal Garden’s debut album, Let The Rocks Cry Out, which is due out next month.
