Timothy B. Schmit was born in Oakland and grew up in Sacramento, playing in various local bands. He joined his first group at age 15 in the early sixties. His band the New Breed gained airplay on top 40 station KXOA with "Green Eyed Woman." They had a few more local hits before recording the album Feelin' Glad in 1968. The following year Schmit joined Poco, who were signed to Epic Records. He played bass and added vocals on nine of their albums through 1977.

During his time with Poco, Tim wrote several songs, including the band's rock hit "Keep on Tryin'" in 1975. In 1977 he sang backup vocals on the Firefall hit "Just Remember I Love You." He had contributed backing vocals to various Steel Dan albums, including Aja in 1977. He also did session work with The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt before joining The Eagles in 1977 following the release of Hotel California. His vocal contribution on the next album The Long Run was the top ten hit "I Can't Tell You Why."

Starting in 1984 Tim began releasing solo albums, first on Asylum Records, then MCA Records, but eventually he turned to indie labels. His biggest pop hit was "Boys Night Out" in 1987. He also gained airplay on adult contemporary stations in 1982 with "So Much In Love." He remained with The Eagles in the 21st century, frequently touring.
