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 #675 is an hour of dynamic, adventurous visionary acoustic improvised music played live by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele, mandolin, sitar, Native flute, double flute and harmonica, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and djembe. Today’s hour, recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in late June of 2026, begins with the drifting, lilting acoustic guitar ballad “Authenticity” before Mariam plays her chiming, evocative mandolin on the beautifully spontaneously composed “Somebody Walked Before You” with an airy, spacious mood and a fine, widely-ranging vocal. “Ausangate” celebrates the high Peruvian Andes with a mystical, steady, pulsing rhythm track topped with Mariam’s mysterious, spiritual lyric and for the gorgeous “Living In The Majesty” guest Seth Martin steps in to play beautiful, echoing modal kalimba as Mariam soars on her psychedelic, overtone-producing double flute. “Summertime” is a Gaea Star Band tradition where the ensemble expresses the utmost possible joy at the arrival of summer backing an evocative summer travelogue from Mariam. “Singing The Same Songs Of Life” is an epic, sprawling blues extemporization decorated with Mariam’s bluesy harmonica sharing center stage with her fine vocal atop a bed of pulsing Native drum and Ray Charles piano. “Trust” from the Gaea Star Crystal LP is giving an energetic airing with driving djembe and acoustic guitar and we complete today’s show with the drifting, hallucinogenic raga “Lotus Queens” for which Mariam strums her exotic sitar and our guest Seth adds drone from the shruti box.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #674 is another hour of dynamic visionary acoustic improvised music and songs by Mariam Massaro brought to you by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele, Native flute, double flute, mandolin and Celtic harp, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-June of 2026, today’s show begins with the rich, bucolic “The Forest Beyond”, a gorgeous, groovy forest song with a compelling vocal from Mariam over imaginative, focused work from the band and “Open My Heart” is a popular ceremonial song that the band presents with an elegant, deeply felt performance to match Mariam’s engaged, beautifully present vocal. “Let’s Do The Best We Can” is fashioned around Mariam’s chiming, energetic and rhythmically tight ukulele with pulsing Native drum and dancing, parrying, ever-inventing piano supporting another inspired vocal. Floating through different reimaginings and soaring, extended Native flute inventions, the piece fascinates and compels with its imagination and creative restlessness. “Ni Dantu’s Wisdom” is a mystical tale told by Mariam with great expression and framed with celestial percussion, throbbing Native drum, somber, expressive acoustic guitar, and minimalist, supportive piano. “You Are All That Is” is something of a Part Two to “Ni Dantu’s Wisdom” featuring gorgeous, soaring vocals and a rich, deeply emotional improvised piano accompaniment. Mariam uncases her evocative, energy-elevating mandolin for the chiming, mystical “Restore Her Beauty”, a wonderfully exotic-sounding air that culminates in an expansive, touching dialogue between Mariam’s evocative vocal and expressive, soaring Native flute. “Grandfather Pine” is today’s “epic”, a 14-minute meditation full of imaginative, playful and inspiring movements, gorgeous vocals, heartfelt Native flute, virtuoso improvised piano, skipping, energized congas. We complete today’s hour with one of Mariam’s early songs, the inspired, exotic “Open Every Day” from the Gaea Star Crystal LP, rendered with great spirit, imagination and energy.

Her powerful songs encourage humanity to nurture Mother Earth (Gaea Star), to be happy and to discover your own power and radiant light within. 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 first CD, released in 2009, “Gaea Star Crystal -Awakening The Tribes Of Light ” is a uplifting collection of songs for the movie soundtrack. 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.
