Boyd Tinsley stepping away from Dave Matthews Band

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Member News on 2/2/18 8:58pm

Boyd Tinsley is "stepping away" from the Dave Matthews Band. Tinsley announced via Twitter that he was "wrestling with a decision" regarding his status with the band. Tinsley said, "I need to take a break from the band & touring 2 focus on my family & my health 4 a while. I will miss you guys & my brothers in the band but I’m somewhat worn out & need 2 spend more time with my family & 2 bring more balance to my life. Thanks 4 ur Love"

Boyd first appeared with the band as a featured guest in 1991, and then officially joining the band in April 1992. Regardless, Tinsley is regarded as a founding member of the band and a key contributor, including a co-writing credit on the band's first Grammy winning song, So Much To Say. We wish Boyd all the success in his time away; and more importantly, thank you Boyd, for all you've done for DMB and us fans.
