Dave Matthews Band’s Boyd Tinsley Plans New Side Project

Dave Matthews Band violinist Boyd Tinsley has assembled a new project called Crystal Garden for a free show at Charlottesville, VA’s Paramount Theatre on April 12 as a part of the Tom Tom Founders Festival. Seats are limited and it is recommended that attendees sign up online for a free ticket.

Charlottesville’s NBC29 reports that the project, which includes Mycle Wastman, Matt Frewen, James Frost-Winn and Charlie Csontos, will also release their debut album that will also feature special guest Stanley Jordan, who he recently collaborated with during Phil Lesh & Friends’ Las Vegas run.

“Everyone gives back in Charlottesville. It’s what we do here. For me it’s important to be thinking about the up-and-comers, and who will be making the next great rock songs,” Boyd Tinsley said. “Crystal Garden was my brainchild. I helped assemble these great musicians and together they’ve become a great band. I couldn’t be more excited to introduce Crystal Garden to Charlottesville and play with them at the Paramount.”
