Who is Timothy B. Schmit ?Bassist replaced Randy Meisner in The Eagles

Timothy B. Schmit replaced Randy Meisner in the Eagles. But how well do you know him ? Read on as we bring you some interesting details about him in this write up. 

Timothy B. Schmit is an American musician, singer, and songwriter born on  October 30, 1947 in Oakland, California, United States of America. 

He was raised in Sacramento, and began playing in the folk music group Tim, Tom & Ron at the age of 15. That group evolved into a surf band called the Contenders, then changed its name to the New Breed (sometimes known simply as “the Breed”).

As the New Breed, they had a major local hit in Sacramento: the Animals-inspired “Green Eyed Woman,” which was released in 1965 and hit No. 1 on local top-40 outlet KXOA. (The track also charted on isolated stations in Virginia and Indiana.)

A few more local-only hits followed, before the group changed its name once again to Glad. The group recorded the album Feelin’ Glad in 1968.

In 1977, Timothy B. Schmit joined the Eagles after the Hotel California tour, replacing Randy Meisner on bass/vocals, as he had done in Poco, after Meisner quit.

Although the Eagles are thought of as a quintessential California band, Timothy B. Schmit is the only member of the group who is actually a native of California.
