Mariam’s Musical Inspiration This Week

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #655 is an hour of inspired, dynamic, visionary acoustic improvised music and songs by Mariam Massaro played by Mariam on vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele, Celtic harp, mandolin and Native flute and Bob Sherwood on piano. Recorded live on January 27th of 2026 at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with a driving, energized version of Mariam’s powerful ode to inner strength “You’re The One” featuring a fine vocal, tight, chiming acoustic guitar and inspired piano. The beautiful, sprawling, compelling music tryptich “Pushing Back/Holding The Line/Shining Brightly” is a powerful, inspiring and emotional summation of the events of our time, a musical diary of a trying era Mariam speaks a narrative of love, resistance and universal equality but always at the center of her message is the concept of unity, of oneness. Gorgeous, imaginative, detailed piano from Bob locks in with Mariam every step of the way on this extended piece, along with soaring, lyrical Native flute, an astonishing vocal performance from Mariam as well as tight, percussive ukulele. “Just Walk Away” is a fine song of Mariam’s and she and Bob present it here as a country rock ballad, languid and considered, and “Arise”, a pretty folk air from Mariam’s “Release” LP is lifted with Mariam’s tight, evocative mandolin and sweet, soaring vocal as well as Bob’s dancing piano motifs. “Twin Flame” from Mariam’s “Gaea Star Goddesses” LP receives a committed, intense performance with a dramatic vocal and lilting acoustic guitar and “Pot Of Gold” is a gorgeous evocation formed around a deliciously mournful piano motif that Mariam kneads and shapes with her sinuous vocal and questing, soaring Native flute. Today’s show completes with the grooving “Lead Us Down” an adventurous re-casting of Mariam’s island rocker “Lead Me Down” featuring tight playing and an assured, bluesy vocal from Mariam.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #654 is an hour of improvised visionary acoustic music played by Mariam Massaro and Bob Sherwood of the Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, marimba, ukulele, and Native flute and Bob on piano and vocals, Recorded on a frigid, snowy afternoon in mid-January of 2026 at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the mysterious and evocative “Oh How Brightly The Light Of Crystalline Beauty Shines”, a gorgeously bittersweet waltz with a fine vocal from Mariam that leads into the rich, multidimensional “Amaryllis Blooming” a sparse yet powerful reel led by Mariam’s chiming mandolin and Bob’s tightly arranged piano accompaniment that sets the stage for a gorgeous flute sonata in its final movement. “Sharing In The Glory” becomes a powerful coda for the prior piece with a hypnotic piano motif and a lovely, shaded melody from Mariam. “Oh, I Want To Always Reflect What Is Right” is a sprightly blues rocker with rollicking acoustic guitar and bluesy piano supporting Mariam’s wide-ranging vocal and Bob takes the microphone for a reflective, emotional take of his song “Mystery” featuring fine Native flute touches and harmonies from Mariam. Mariam takes up the dancing, adventure-evoking marimba part that always heralds her song “Vision Quest” from her eponymous album and the duo unwind a compelling, rhythmic, spacious take of this fine song. Mariam’s classic folk-gospel rocker “Freedom” takes on a powerful, anthemic quality as Mariam delivers its powerful message in trying times and we complete today’s show with “Oh, Rainbow Sweet Delight”, a gorgeous, relaxed ballad with sensitive acoustic guitar, decorative piano ostinatos and another fine vocal from Mariam.
