Notably, Boyd Tinsley has also been dealing with other legal issues at the same time. He was charged with s*xual misconduct in 2018 by a trumpeter, James Frost-Winn, who was a member of the band, Crystal Garden. However, Tinsley denied the claims while speaking to Billboard. He referred to a news piece shared by Consequence of Sound and said:

"I will defend myself against these false accusations. I can only assume the motivation for the article and the lawsuit filed against me."

He later left the band and while speaking to Vulture, Dave Matthews spoke up on Boyd's return. He stated:

"I have a deep love for Boyd, and he has to deal with his stuff. … I can't say, 'I can't wait till he comes back', because I don't know what's going to happen."

The band managed to deliver several successful tunes, and Boyd was later approached by musician Dave Matthews to showcase his skills in the single, Tripping Billies.
