Boyd Tinsley, violin player from Dave Matthews Band and the new band “Crystal Garden” is producing and performing at the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus Thursday through Sunday.
Crystal Garden is Tinsley's brainchild, and for over two years he sought out just the right group of musicians to form what he considers "a really tight modern day rock band." The band consists of Charlie Csontos, bass and Matt Frewen on drums, along with American band mate, vocalist Mycle Wastman.
“I have spent most of my time the last couple of years (when not playing with DMB), meeting with and listening to new talent. I have to say my search has paid off. I think these four guys are as good, if not better than anyone else playing today,” Tinsley said. Crystal Garden will soon release a CD that also features guitarist Stanley Jordan and Tinsley on violin.
