Boyd Tinsley

Boyd Tinsley (b. May 16, 1964, Charlottesville, Virginia) is the violinist in the American band Dave Matthews Band. He learned violin by accidentally signing up for a middle school orchestra class. He seriously considered becoming a violin virtuoso but started to explore other forms of music. In the early 1990s, he formed the Boyd Tinsley Band, which lasted only a couple years.
