From Rehearsal Rooms to Recordings: A Sampling of Past Collaborations
ASSISTED LIVING: Assisted Living (2022)
Our debut under the Assisted Living name was a bold leap into self-production—equal parts ambition and trial-by-error. Not everything landed, but it laid the foundation. Bumps, lessons, and a few gems. Onward and upward.
THE REASONS: Music for After School (1995)
Released in 1995, Music for After School by The Reasons featured two college radio hits—one reaching #1 in two markets, another climbing to #3—and sparked interest within the industry. Proof that underground talent can turn heads.
THE REASONS: Heavy Reasoning (1993-1996)
A raw, rare peek into The Reasons’ archives—demos, outtakes, and hidden gems from the vault.
THE REASONS: Live (1993-1996)
A blistering cut of stage energy from The Reasons’ early days—unfiltered, loud, and alive. Featuring standout performances from every lineup, including guitarist James Schalk from the original roster, now heard on Assisted Living’s latest release, Smile On.
RICH MILLETT: This Guy's the Limit (2001)
Released in the early 2000s, Rich Millett’s debut solo album spotlighted his songwriting chops, backed by former Reasons bandmates Dave Zibman and Randy Casquejo (aka Phil Eno). It’s a reflective, melodic project that rekindled old collaborations with fresh creative fire
RICH MILLETT: Ugly Radio (2003)
Released as a follow-up to his early 2000s solo debut, Rich Millett’s second album continued his melodic exploration—featuring longtime collaborator Dave Zibman on bass. A textured, lyrical collection, it deepened their shared musical roots while carving out fresh sonic ground.
