Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour with Mariam Massaro
On the Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour, singer/songwriter Mariam Massaro and composer/producer Robert Sherwood collaborate with Craig Harris and special guests to produce a unique live musical experience where pure inspiration is interwoven with dynamic and unusually sensitive musical expression. The show features completely original songs created in the moment from Mariam’s inspirations, often from dreams and feelings based on current life experiences here and throughout the world as well as from the beauty of nature, blended with intergalactic channelings from her Twin Flame lover Ashento. Starting in January 2012 The Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour has attracted over 450,000 listeners from all corners of the globe. As The Gaea Star Band enters their fourth year they’re excited with the release of their latest album “Who We Are” on Applehead/Sony Films and Records. “Who We Are” is a unique collection of tracks pulled from the last couple of years of shows that reflect an upbeat, original spirit with a global medicine rock flavor.

Mariam’s Musical Inspiration This Week

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #663 is an hour of inspired, intrepid, visionary acoustic improvised music by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, 4- and 8-string ukulele, acoustic guitar, Celtic harp, dulcimer and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and dulcimer and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts at the very end of March 2026, today’s show begins with the powerful, affecting immigrant song “Standing Strong In Front Of The World”, a deep, inspiring prayer that features a soaring Native flute and voice dialog from Mariam and rich, imaginative piano from Bob. Mariam’s chiming, evocative 8-string ukulele forms a rich framework for “Oh, The Queen Moon”, a starry, mesmerizing reel with a beautiful vocal from Mariam over slowly unwinding minimalist piano polyrhythms. “Smile” is the band’s favorite raga, a forest rock song by Mariam from the “For The Children” LP driven powerfully by Craig’s throbbing Native drum and Mariam’s racing, ancient-soiunding dulcimer and “Rainbow In The Sky” is a fantastical fantasy lulled by Mariam’s soaring, melancholy vocal and chiming acoustic guitar. Mariam wields her forward, jangling mandolin for the mysterious, twisting, unusual “Bring In The Beauty”, a gorgeous ballad with a deep heartbeat from Craig and druidic dancing mandolin and piano. “Do The Impossible” appropriately features Bob’s debut on the dulcimer as Mariam builds a compelling chordal framework on the mandolin and delivers a tight modal melody. “Ryalia”, from the “Release” LP is given a tight, jazzy rendition with top notch work from the whole ensemble and we conclude today’s show with “How Do You Feel”, a gentle, bittersweet gospel ballad with skipping, childlike piano, a pretty, expressive melody and Mariam’s overtone-producing double flute framing an innovative, touching arrangement.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #662 is another hour of visionary acoustic improvised music from The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, ukulele, acoustic guitar, shruti box and harmonica, Bob Sherwood on piano and vocals and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-March of 2026, today’s show begins with the reverently peaceful “Golden Maiden Of Peace”, a beautiful Native-influenced, atmospheric piece with a fine vocal and inspired Native flute excursions from Mariam. “Whatever It Takes” jazzy, breathless waltz featuring another touching, penetrating vocal from Mariam and swinging, imaginative piano from Bob and “The Greater Ways Of All” begins as a mystical raga built on Mariam’s shruti box drone and soaring Native flute as it slowly builds into a wide-ranging, innovate composition that skirts jazz and classical to support Mariam’s powerful vocal. “I Only Want To Do What My Soul Loves To” grows slowly out of the previous piece and features Mariam’s chiming Celtic harp, throbbing Native drum, restless classical piano and more powerful poetry from Mariam. “Rays Of Light Following Me” is a gorgeous, restless, gospel-inflected ballad that balances uneasily between major and minor to convey the balance of light and dark. “We Call In The Wind” is a classic invocation from Mariam and today we reinvent it in a new key, swirling and languid, an intoxicating blend of congas, restless, inventive piano, chiming mandolin and an unhurried, contemplative vocal. “The Fragrance Of Life” is a compelling, powerful gospel blues number characterized by Mariam’s full-of-feeling harmonica and the authoritatize plagal cadences of Bob’s piano and we complete today’s show with the beautiful “When You Touch Me”, a sweet 50’s inflected song from Mariam’s “Smooth Sailin’ Love Songs” LP featuring tight work from the ensemble as well as background harmonies from Bob.

Mariam channels spiritual messages and songs from her twin flame, Ashento, an ascended master and is currently co-writing The Teachings of Ashento with him. The following is a message from Ashento. “As a messenger of spirit, be the hands, the voice, the touch, the example of love to shine, to reflect the deep abiding love that flows eternally from one’s spirit into life, to heal and spread love even more. To enlarge the capacity for revealing love at all times is to walk the path of the peaceful messenger.” She wrote and is currently filming the Gaea Star Crystal screenplay with Ashento’s celestial guidance.

Her second CD, “Gaea Star Goddesses”, recorded in her own studio, was released on 11/11/11. It is a beautiful celebration of the Divine Feminine with her original songs about the magnificent Goddesses of Gaea Star that have touched her life in all her worldly travels. Mariam has spent the last year creating and directing the colorful, live musical Gaea Star Goddess show that brings these songs to life while evoking the beauty and wisdom of the Goddess.
