This week’s guest is Chris Marshak - a drummer and percussionist whose worked with a boat load of great artists throughout the years including Steve Winwood, Amy Helm, James Maddock, Jeffrey Gaines, Willy Porter and many more. We also touch on some pretty vulnerable (yet universal) topics in this one and it felt amazing; he’s a great guy. I hope you enjoy the 5 records that helped shape Chris Marshak into the drummer he is today, but get your notes out for this one as he gives some stellar advice than can be applied both on and off the kit. Cheers!
