Guess That Record

Guess That Record is a podcast hosted by Canadian musician Jackson Reed. Each week Jackson will sit down with a special guest for an in-depth interview about their career and experiences. Then, the guest will have to guess which album Jackson pulled from his collection, leading to a discussion about the record. A show for anyone that’s a fan of music, Guess That Record will be posting new episodes on Wednesdays!

This episode of Guess That Record has Jackson interviewing drummer Chris Maas! Hailing from Luxembourg, Chris has been active in the music business for over 20 years working with artists like Mumford & Sons. Since 2024, he’s been the drummer for Sting as a member of the new STING 3.0 band. In the interview, Jackson and Chris talk about growing up in Luxembourg, the grind of finding work as a musician, and what’s been the most surprising part about working with Sting!
