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 #611 is an hour of inspired, dynamic visionary acoustic improvised music and songs by Mariam Massaro played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals, Native flute, 4- and 8-string ukulele, acoustic guitar and 12-string acoustic guitar, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early March of 2025, today’s show begins with the whimsical, upbeat “Aloha Hey”, a fantastic island song by Mariam with the ensemble of ukulele, piano and Native drum firing on all cylinders. “Honor The Place Within” is a beautiful, stately raga performed with Mariam on DADGAD-tuned acoustic 12 string lending a rich, powerful drone and “Welcome To Spring” is a pensive folk song with a beautiful, questing melody from Mariam over chiming ukulele and anthemic piano. “Stay Strong (Even When You’re All Alone)” is another rousing folk song with an inspiring lyric, featuring driving congas and tight acoustic guitar work from Mariam. “Twin Flame” and “Ryalia” are tracks from Mariam’s “Gaea Star Crystal” and “Release” albums; the former is powerfully presented with a beautiful melody, the latter a mysterious, labyrinthine forest song with a compelling, rangey vocal from Mariam. “We Need A Brand-New Deck To Play This Game Of Life” is a rich, varied ballad featuring a lyrical conversation between Mariam’s inspiring lyrics and soaring Native flute and we complete today’s show with “Just Keep Showing Up For Peace”, another dynamic vocal-and-flute showcase with throbbing Native drum and rich, detailed piano.
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #610 is an hour of improvised, visionary acoustic music recorded live by the Gaea Star Band at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in March of 2025. Featuring Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, acoustic guitar, ukulele, kalimba and dulcimer, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas, today’s show begins with the drifting, mystical “Love-Filled Days”, a prayer for peace and understanding featuring lyrical native flute and celtic harp from Mariam. “Dancing Fingers Of Light” is a gentle, bluesy ballad led by Mariam’s smooth vocal and acoustic guitar and “Growing Into Wonder” features imaginative piano from Bob over Mariam’s contemplative acoustic guitar. “Alive, Awake, Alive You Are” is lush, somber contemplation led by Mariam’s soaring Native flute and deep Native drumming from Craig. “Oh Earth” features Mariam’s ukulele in a sparse, minor setting, evoking gently waving branches and “May We Always Know The Way Of Love” is a gorgeous, drifting song from the “Release” album, featuring lush vocals and expressive flute from Mariam. “Distant Star” is a mystical, slowly unfolding song from Mariam’s “Release” album and “This Is The Way” closes today’s show and is a rolling, surreal piece that rises to a fever pitch before reaching its swirling climax.
