With there being little to no chance of another Eagles reunion, Timothy B. Schmit has struck out on his own with new music and tours.
Originally a member of Poco, Schmit joined the Eagles in 1977 after the Hotel California tour and appeared on the albums The Long Run (1979) and Long Road Out of Eden (2007) and was part of their reunion tours.
Last September, Schmit released his sixth solo album, Leap of Faith, and has been touring on and off in support including his current west coast shows. Beginning April 18, he brings the tour to mid-American and the east with shows in Chicago, Cincinnati, New York and a number of other locations.

04/18 – Chicago, IL – City Winery Chicago
04/19 – Cincinnati, OH – Live At The Ludlow Garage
04/22 – Kent, OH – The Kent Stage
04/25 – Cohoes, NY – Cohoes Music Hall

Schmit’s shows on the tour, so far, have been a mix of his solo work (his last two albums) and songs from his time with Poco and the Eagles. He also included the Eagles song Peaceful Easy Feeling as a dedication to Glenn Frey, which the band recorded before Timothy became a member.
